Challenge: the importance of research in education - lessons from a pandemic

I have a challenge for you...

You may have noticed that not everyone is aware of the risks posed by COVID19. Many citizens do not understand the disease or the rationale behind preventive measures. Many citizens choose not to follow them. We know this from the news, from decisions taken by governments or by merely looking out of your window and observing your neighbours' behaviour.
