Attitudes toward vaccination more favorable after J&J vaccine pause

Date Time Attitudes toward vaccination more favorable after J&J vaccine pause While public awareness of the hold on the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine was very high, researchers of a national poll found no negative impact on vaccination attitudes. In fact, immediately following the pause, a slightly larger percentage of the unvaccinated moved to the pro-vaccine category. Between April 1 and 26, researchers from Northwestern, Harvard, Northeastern and Rutgers universities surveyed more than 18,750 individuals across the U.S. to measure attitudes about vaccination. Between April 14 and 23, the J&J vaccine was paused following a report that a rare type of blood clot emerged in a small number of individuals following the use of the vaccine.

Weinberg profs elected to National Academy of Sciences for research

Three Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences professors were elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest professional honors a scientist can receive, according to a University release. The Academy recognized psychology Prof. Dedre Gentner, anthropology Prof. Thomas McDade and chemistry Prof. Michael R. Wasielewski for their research, which ranges from language acquisition and artificial photosynthesis to the way social contexts impact biology and physical well-being. “Gentner, McDade and Wasielewski are among 120 new members and 30 international members selected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research,” the release stated. The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that began in 1863 after President Abraham Lincoln signed a congressional act.

Faculty, students react to STEM-heavy Presidential Search Committee

Of the 36 members tasked with helping search for the next University president, none are affiliated with the School of Education and Social Policy, the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications, the Bienen School of Music and the School of Communication. In fact, only two of the nine faculty and students on the committee come from non-STEM backgrounds, and the remaining are current or former Board of Trustees members, alumni leadership or staff. And for some students and faculty, this breakdown is a point of concern.  The Presidential Search Committee, announced earlier this month, will help advise the Board on candidate elections and solicit community input and nominations for the next president. While Northwestern community members nominated people to the committee, Board chair J. Landis Martin selected the final group, according to this month’s announcement.
