May 5, 2022 8670

Has the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacted how social and behavioral scientists view and conduct research? If so, how exactly? And what are the lessons learned so far from their research in this environment? Watch this series of short videos from SAGE Publishing to explore such questions as: 

  • What is one message about COVID that the social and behavioral sciences teaches us?
  • What are the most relevant social and behavioral sciences findings the public should understand?
  • What do you want others to know about what’s happening with your research due to COVID?
  • Are there any published articles in the social and behavioral sciences that are particularly insightful on these topics?
  • After living with COVID for two years, how do you see it impacting social and behavioral scientists in the future?
  • What have the news media and government officials gotten wrong about COVID’s impact on the social and behavioral sciences?
