Can public trust in science survive a second battering?
Briefly

Recent discussions have highlighted that while public trust in science has faced serious challenges, especially post-COVID-19, there are signs of recovery. Research indicates that trust levels may have slightly rebounded, although deepening political divides remain evident, particularly between Democrats and Republicans. Their contrasting viewpoints are further exacerbated by political influences, notably during Trump's administration. While trust has fluctuated, new studies suggest that the anticipated drastic decline in trust may not have materialized as significantly as earlier feared.
