"Most scientists think facts alone will change minds. They’re wrong."
No scientists I work with are this naive. It reinforces a false stereotype of scientists.
Society seems to expect scientists to be effective influencers of public opinion, and that takes a lot of time and skill. The big problem is that making science facts is also hard and takes scientists a lot of time. What the world needs is more science-trained media, and citizens, and #SciComm staff.
