Understanding what policy makers need and communicating results effectively for their processes is a skill that is learned, not taught, in academia. One of the first lessons is that policy makers don’t always know what they need. So assuming the problem is only w/ academics is misleading.

I can see that argument. But anecdotally, that this is a trend that I started seeing during COVID when I was struggling with wfh with kids and got super sensitive about asking other women to do unpaid work. But when I had to women responded positively at way higher rates than men anyway.
