Net zero to the housing crisis: how we’re using expert evidence to help policymakers improve UK society

Your home surroundings help show off your personality to the person on the other end of the Zoom call. Anyone who judged the bookcases of politicians and celebrities during the early days of lockdown will be familiar with this. My colleagues and I recently conducted a study that found the objects in your digital background can affect how people view you. We ..read more
