Science has a trust problem. How to solve it? Don’t be condescending

Robert F Kennedy Jr has been nominated for the nation’s top health post.

He is on the record as having previously said: “There's no vaccine that is safe and effective,” and intends to investigate a supposed link between vaccines and autism.

As misinformation gains ground in the White House , physicians are scrambling to set the record straight.

Documentary-maker Elijah Yetter-Bowman released Burned: Protecting the Protectors, a documentary about cancer-causing forever chemicals inside firefighter’s protective gear, screened it at a summit of the International Association of Fire Fighters .

Another way to create human connection is by keeping science communication hyperlocal.

Investing in local science journalism is therefore key to rebuilding trust.

Acknowledging what we don’t know and how scientists are working to find out is key to rebuilding trust, scientists say.

The vast majority of people still trust and support vaccines, they say.

“To paint a single-sided story is more likely to create bias and distance audiences,” scientist says.
