Examining the Mistrust of Science: Proceedings of a Workshop–in Brief
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable has released a publication that briefly summarizes the presentations and discussions from a meeting held on February 28 and March 1, 2017, to explore trends in public opinion of science, examine potential sources of mistrust, and consider ways that cross-sector collaboration between government, universities, and industry may improve public trust in science and scientific institutions in the future.
TRB is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which provides independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conducts other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.
