Scientists Attempt an Honest Look at Why We Trust Science Less

Molecular biologist Henry Miller and statistician S. Stanley Young have written an article at the Genetic Literacy Project on why trust in science is at an all time low. The Project’s motto is “Science Not Ideology” — a tall aspiration in theses times. To be honest, going in, I braced myself for the usual stuff: Politicians don’t fund science enough; the public is full of ignorant hillbillies who believe evangelists, not scientists; most reporters flunked science so they can’t explain why people should trust the science! or else the planet is doomed… and so forth. Well, I am glad to be wrong.
