Social Science Research Council convenes behavioral scientists, policymakers, and philanthropists at the Nobel Prize Summit on Truth, Trust, and Hope
The discussion, organized by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), is part of a summit organized by the Nobel Prize Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences, the premier scientific body in the United States, to strengthen public trust in science. Panelists including Robert Califf, Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, will address the current crisis of public trust in science and how behavioral science research can address that crisis. Ahead of the event, panelist and Nobel Laureate Paul Romer stressed how critical the topic is: “Humanity’s greatest creation is a community of science that routinely generates amazing practical benefits. It succeeds because its members can trust the insights that they share. Trust is required not just for science, but for every collective endeavor. By eroding trust, the disinformation facilitated by the digital revolution threatens them all.”
