A conversation on the erosion of trust in science and the price we pay, with David Brooks, New York Times editorialist, and Francis Collins, Senior Investigator, former Director of the National Institutes of Health
Until recently science has been regarded as a human undertaking in which, to everybody’s benefit, an objective truth could be sought. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. The erosion of trust, or its misplacement, has damaged the social standing, with the consequences we all know. This is why a renewed commitment to truth and reason is more necessary than ever. Dr. Collins has dedicated his entire life to scientific research, while Mr. Brooks has extensively studied the relevance of trust in the social fabric.
