Most of us trust scientists, shows a survey of nearly 72,000 people worldwide

"Public trust in scientists is vital. It can help us with personal decisions on
matters like health and provide evidence-based policymaking to assist
governments with crises such as the COVID pandemic or climate change.

In a survey of 71,922 people across 68 countries, our global team of 241
researchers has found most people have a relatively high trust in scientists.

Notably, people want scientists to take an active role in society and
policymaking. Our results are published today in Nature Human Behaviour.

So what does this mean for us as a society, and for scientists and policymakers
seeking to maintain and build trust? Here are the lessons we’ve learned."
