📣 *New science alert* 🌏Global trust in scientists project led by @colognaviktoria.bsky.social and @nielsmede.bsky.social is out today in Nature Human Behaviour: go.nature.com/40pox5P 🦘Some interesting Australia-specific results in our Conversation piece below, led by @mdmarques.com

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

A global new survey shows there’s no crisis of trust in scientists, as some might claim. But there are some nuances.
