Recent survey data show declines in trust in science that mirror earlier trends for other institutions, including journalism and government. New research is shedding additional light on those patterns and illuminating some of the mechanisms that underlie the aggregated trends. In this webinar, researchers consider the differences between credibility, confidence, and trust; describe new empirical findings; and discuss the implications for how to communicate science in a complex information landscape.
