Check out this new special collection that launched during #WorldScienceForum2024. It's been brilliant to lead with Salvatore Aricó this collaboration between the International Science Council #ISC and Frontiers Policy Labs. We hope it creates opportunities to share different perspectives and discuss how we make #sense of science and build #trust in science in the 21st Century. We've kicked off with perspectives from Roger Highfield, Carlos Alvarez Pereira Cyrus Walther Tateo Arimoto Yousuf Al Bulushi Yuko Harayama Huadong Guo Paul Arthur Berkman Saths Cooper on everything from AI to second chances, and what is science and the scientist? This isn't the kind of conversation that stands still, it needs to be ongoing - there will be more commentaries to come in 2025!

#TrustInScience is fading and the need to strengthen it is eminent. But for trust in science to remain strong for decades to come, we have to build trust with the young generation of today. Achieving this is a continuous effort but if we explain and demystify science, communicate our findings, enable cross-domain training, and let them accompany us on our path, we will spark curiosity and trust in science with the young people of today and the stakeholders of tomorrow.

What is science and who is a scientist in the 21st century? "In the 21st Century, as humanity and the Earth face crises of survival and sustainability, we must fundamentally rethink the values that science and technology aspire to, their social roles and methods, and the norms of scientists", argues Prof Tateo Arimoto, Visiting Professor of National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies 政策研究大学院大学 (GRIPS), in this commentary piece.

This year, the Frontiers Women in Science blog series continued to shine a spotlight on the incredible work of women researchers across a wide range of disciplines. From renewable energy to global women’s health, parachute science to sustainable agriculture, ocean conservation to antimicrobial resistance, and more, each post introduced us to dedicated women making significant strides in their fields. Throughout 2024, we celebrated the achievements and contributions of women at various career stages, highlighting their efforts to advance scientific knowledge and address global challenges. We also delved into their professional journeys, learning about the obstacles they have overcome and the invaluable advice they offer future generations. Thank you to those who have shared their stories with us and to the team behind the Women in Science blog for capturing those stories so well. Join us in reflecting on a year of inspiring stories and impactful research and get a glimpse of what is to come in 2025: https://fro.ntiers.in/ZPC2 #WomeninScience

"I believe that the act of “making sense of science,” with a particular reference to “scientists” and “policymakers”, and their interaction, should be exercised not in a static but dynamic way, and not confined to the realm of science, but open to value-based discussion. " Read this commentary by Prof Yuko Harayama, Secretary General, GPAI, in Frontiers Policy Labs ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ect5NGcx #SciencePolicy #SciPol #TrustInScience #Policymaking

Making sense of science today requires not only a grasp of fundamental principles but also the ability to critically navigate uncertainty and complexity. Science needs to adapt approaches to engage and interact with multiple sources and forms of knowledge and insights. This must be complimented by larger, more accurate and timely data, collected using verifiable and open methods. Inclusivity, understanding, and respect are essential for moving forward.
