“Trust in science must be earned through trustworthy practice.” New research by @moreincommonuk.bsky.social finds Britain broadly trusts science – but we can’t take that for granted. Read five ways the scientific community can build trust ⤵️ wellcome.org/insights/art...
Quote from Philippa Michael, Head of Public Initiatives at Wellcome: "Scientists have remained among the most trusted figures in British society. But trust isn't static; it's a relationship, and relationships need care and attention."
