Inequalities in access to resources and funding for scientists worsened, especially<br />
for early career researchers, women, and those working in lower-income settings.<br />
Misinformation was a growing concern. Scientists took on more public-facing<br />
activities, disseminating and interpreting new research findings and countering<br />
false or misleading information. Although scientists recognised that there was<br />
a welcome increase in public attention to science, that awareness was not<br />
always matched by enhanced understanding. Researchers paid more attention<br />
to communicating uncertainties and limitations in their work. Their entry into the<br />
public sphere raised concerns about the oversimplification and politicization<br />
of research. One challenge has been the avalanche of online abuse directed<br />
at scientists. Researchers sought more support to improve their communication<br />
skills when engaging with the public and policy makers. Economist Impact<br />
made several proposals. Campaigns to counter misinformation. Investments<br />
to build public trust in science. Commissioning more research on science<br />
communication. Enhanced research literacy among the media. More vigorous<br />
efforts to explain new research findings to a public audience. Promoting more<br />
cross-country partnerships and making room for non-English speakers to reduce<br />
inequities. And preparing scientists for more public-facing roles—reducing<br />
administrative burdens, providing mentorship for early career researchers,<br />
training in communication, hiring science communicators, and providing support<br />
to confront online abuse.<br />
