A new report finds that global trust in science has fallen below pre-Covid pandemic levels.

The decline raises concerns among researchers and policymakers about how declining trust could affect support for science-based policy on health, climate and other issues.
Why now: The fresh finding that the pandemic left lasting damage to public confidence in science is prompting debate about misinformation and institutional credibility.
