"Some researchers might feel that their research area is too obscure to have a direct impact on government policy, and could struggle to see how it can be applied."
"We've found that a particularly powerful way to influence policy and politics is to be in the right rooms at the right time."
"For M.N., this has meant taking opportunities to attend events in person (when childcare allows)."
