Truth + trust = hope? | Nobel Prize laureates panel discussion | Nobel Prize Summit 2023

Four Nobel Prize laureates sat down for a panel discussion on one of our main themes of the summit: how can the scientific community generate more trust in science? Laureates Maria Ressa, Richard Roberts, Martin Chalfie and David MacMillan, discuss how the scientific community need to address the problems of science literacy and critical thinking and the strategies needed to help preserve facts. As laureate Martin Chalfie, advises, ‘We need to build on public trust. We need to work with the communities.’
