Last year, I was honoured to give the Huttenlocher Lecture at the @fluxsociety.bsky.social conference. Over the past year, I’ve been writing it into a paper:

Why do some people trust scientists more than others? How can scientists earn and keep that trust?

With @policyatkings.bsky.social and @wellcometrust.bsky.social we commissioned a major UK survey to establish the state of trust in science - and learn what researchers can do to build and retain it
NEW: Trust in scientists in the UK is closely shaped by people’s values, identity and politics, showing some of the same patterns of division over science that have emerged in the US.

Our study with @senseaboutsci.bsky.social, funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social, shows the key dividing lines 🧵 ⬇️

@scientificdiscovery.dev on how institutional bottlenecks, not scientific ones, often hold back medical progress. Worth the watch and the read 🔬
It's finally here! I gave a TED talk in April in Vancouver, and it was released online today.

You can watch it here:

I've also adapted it into an article, which was published last week: worksinprogress.co/issue/future...
