Join us for a presentation from Pew Research Center! Pew Research Center has been tracking trends in Americans’ trust in scientists for nearly a decade. This presentation will feature findings from an October 2024 survey conducted on this topic using the Center’s nationally representative American Trends Panel. The presentation will also cover changes in Americans’ trust since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and highlight differences in trust across Republicans and Democrats. Additionally, the presentation will discuss Americans’ views on the role of scientists in policymaking, the characteristics that Americans think describe scientists well, and related findings from surveys conducted in recent years.
