Trust in Scientists 🧪 Public confidence in scientists edged up slightly in 2024, according to a recent Pew Research Study, but still remains 10 percentage points below pre-pandemic levels. The confidence rise is split along party lines (88% vs. 66%), but notable that Republicans edged 5% higher YoY.

Trust in scientists will keep lowering as will their credibility. New empirical evidence about controversial topics is continuously suppressed, through dishonesty, statistical tricks or plain fraud (e.g. fluoride neurotoxicity, ivermectin). Until we do better the trend will grow.

🧪A common critique of the scientific community was science communication, where only 45% of respondents cited scientists as good communicators. This aligns with their take on scientist involvement in public policy, where only 51% stated scientists should take an active role in public policy.
