I ...Thank you, Sabrina, for this poignant reminder. I agree with your sentiment that “trust” needs to be reconstructed in a realm where the publish-or-perish mentality and race to discovering miracle cures prevail over reliable, reproducible, bias-free findings. I did some reading on the nuanced nature of trust in science - how it is built, maintained, lost, and the repercussions of all the above. It is no doubt that recently, several events have shaken the trust that the public holds for scientific advances. It seems as though a core facet underlying this dwindling trust is the public’s misunderstanding of the scientific method, the idea that the field consists of well-established certainties when really the research we are striving towards is novel and limitless.

It is important that our result are questioned, not only by our peers but also by the public. This allows for our discoveries to help with the progress of science as well as to maintain tax payers faith that the money invested in our research is being used to obtain unbiased, replicable and reliable data.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970137756784255182noreply@blogger.com
