- The 51 Percent is back for a new season & diving into an issue increasingly alarming govts the world over: a global #decline in #birthrates. I speak to @ox.ac.uk anthropologist @paulajasheppard.bsky.social on whether we're right to be worried.🤰🏻👶📉
- These surveys aren't meant as general knowledge quizzes, we don’t expect the public to have a detailed grasp of the university sector; they signal how we really feel about an issue, based on what we hear from the media, social media, politicians, friends, family www.theguardian.com/education/20...
- Have you had a good (in)fertility experience at work? Or not? If you're UK-based, please take this survey so that we can better understand the current landscape. Please share.
