（2025·江西新余·模拟预测）People around the world have high levels of trust in scientists, but are concerned about governments interfering (干预) in research. These are among the findings reported by the global communications giant Edelman in its Trust Barometer (信任晴雨表) . The report, published in Nature, focuses on public trust in science and innovation.
Scientists are among those most trusted by the survey’s respondents to tell the truth about innovations and new technologies, with 74% of respondents saying they trust scientists to tell the truth. A similar proportion said that they wanted the introduction of innovations to be led by scientists. By comparison, just 47% of respondents said that they trusted journalists and 45% trusted government leaders to tell the truth on innovations. However, the survey also hints at a growing challenge for scientists and governments alike, with 53% of respondents saying that science in their country has become politicized, referring to interference in science by politicians. Globally, some 59% said that governments and research funders have too much influence on how science is done. And nearly 60% of all respondents think that their government lacks the competence to regulate emerging innovations.
The findings suggest both an opportunity and a challenge for scientists. In this context, the social sciences present an invaluable and underused tool. A report by the Academy of Social Sciences rightly reminded governments of the need to embed (融入) social science in their science, technology, engineering and mathematics policymaking as one way to enhance public trust.
Data scientists, economists, legal scholars and sociologists are among the social scientists who are skilled at studying the strengths and limitations of new technologies, as well as different economic and regulatory models—and communicating their findings, along with all the attendant uncertainties.
Scientists should make the most of the public’s trust in them as a source of information on innovation. And they should work with governments to prevent them from overly politicizing science. Governments have an equal part to play in this——and Nature hopes they are listening.
