And when it comes to decision-making procedures, expert advice ranks first by a wide margin, whereas parliamentary votes and cross-party consensus rank last, no matter whether people are primed with Covid-19, climate change, or "societal challenges" in general. (4/6)

We find that policy measures curtailing democratic rights - postponed elections, banned demonstrations, government control over the media - barely dent citizens' support for pandemic policy packages, while measures reaching into their private lives clearly do. (3/6)

This finding is based on two survey experiments, fielded with 9,000 respondents in Germany, Hungary, Japan, Poland, South Korea and Spain in November 2021 during the Covid-19 Delta waves, when the trade-offs at stake were tangible rather than merely hypothetical. (2/6)

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
