This is the first large carnivore species ever to be documented feeding on nectar. In doing so, the wolves may act as pollinators – perhaps the first known plant-pollinator interaction involving a large carnivore. #OxfordUni #OxfordUniversity #OxfordResearch #WolvesOfInstagram #Wolves #EthiopianWolves #AnimalsOnCamera </video> <video> Students share their top Oxford interview tips - PART 2 Description: - 'You can take from it as much as they can' - 'Don't be afraid to admit mistakes' - 'Your interviewers want you to do well' With undergraduate interviews set to start next week, our students have been sharing more tips. #ApplyingToOxford </video> <video> Research Stories: Parenting support Description: Exposure to abuse has severe and lasting adverse effects on children, but interventions like parenting programmes are an effective approach for improving families' outcomes. However, the limited literature on parenting programmes in Nigeria suggests a gap between research and policies on child protection. Dr Isang Awah’s fellowship sought to address this gap by fostering collaboration between research and policy in Nigeria, and ultimately, using research to improve policies on child protection. During the Fellowship, Dr Awah worked with the Gender, Adolescent, School Health and Elderly (GASHE) Division of Family Health Department at the Federal Ministry of Health to learn more about policy processes in Nigeria and provide technical assistance on how to improve outcomes for children and families through parenting programmes. Dr Isang Awah works at the University of Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention where she serves as Head of Advocacy at the Global Parenting Initiative (GPI).

Also: something characterised as likely to lead to such deterioration'. The first recorded use of ‘brain rot’ was found in 1854 in Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden, but the term has taken on new significance in the digital age. The term has increased in usage frequency by 230% between 2023 and 2024.

How were people needing to go to court under these unprecedented conditions supposed to understand what to do? A team of top academics sprung into action to find out what everyone involved in the legal system needed -- most importantly people using the legal system -- and produced a set of online videos in partnership with HM Courts and Tribunal Service. The films were sent out by court staff to people facing something no-one had before: tribunal hearings in their own homes.
