As we navigate a fractured information ecosystem, a new survey by The Harris Poll, commissioned by Bayer, explores where science and health misinformation is taking shape and what it means for Americans’ trust in science.
The survey finds a profound misinformation paradox, the rise of a “headline-only” culture, a generational trust gap in doctors and scientists, and anxiety over America’s standing as a global leader in scientific research.
From this research, the consensus is that the belief in science is necessary and important for the country’s future.
What does this all mean? By supporting science, scientific process, and the experts who conduct it, innovation can continue to drive human progress. Americans want credible science.
