Subject: [PSCI-COM] Who trusts scientists?


The recent PAS survey finds that 90% of the British public trusts University Scientists to follow regulations.

Is that wisdom or gullibility?  Is it a good thing or bad? Is it useful to us to know what people think?  And if it is, does this survey ask the questions we would like answered?

Join us for the next in our #scicommlit twitter chats on Monday 7th April from 8-9 pm.  Yes, this Monday coming.

If you haven't seen it already the PAS survey report can be found here: http://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3357/Public-Attitudes-to-Science-2014.aspx

Pip Pip and tweet you later!
