Research and Public Attitudes
Evidence-based policy and practice are founded on scientific information. It is critical for accurate information to reach both the public and policy makers.
What is it about?
COVID-19 and the consequential events since early 2020 have propelled science into the public consciousness. As scientists around the world searched for COVID-19 treatments and a pandemic-halting vaccine, the study of public health, immunology, psychology, and many other areas of research received increased levels of attention.
Annual Reviews has curated this review article collection to explore the important relationship between science and the public. In this interdisciplinary article collection, our experts consider the impact of evidence on policy, the role of scientists in shaping public opinion, and the need for trust in science.
