Dear hive: Does anyone have an idea on how to recruit *production workers in the Netherlands* for a qualitative study? Asking for a PhD colleague. Slim chance, but all hints would be welcome. Feel free to share as well! Thanks!

Sozialpolitik: Wer wenig hat, ist in ihren Augen selbst schuld
Mehr Sozialstaat könnte den Aufstieg der Rechtspopulisten bremsen, heißt es oft. Umfragen zeigen aber: Die Wähler der AfD verstehen unter Gerechtigkeit etwas anderes.

In a new paper we show how misinformation derails support for public action on climate change by casting doubt on the scientific consensus (which undermines public opinion).
