In Science We Trust? Understanding Americans’ Confidence In Science, Scientists, And Scientific Institutions - Livestream

The Hoover Institution Center for Revitalizing American Institutions webinar series features speakers who are developing innovative ideas, conducting groundbreaking research, and taking important actions to improve trust and efficacy in American institutions. Speaker expertise and topics span governmental institutions, civic organizations and practice, and the role of public opinion and culture in shaping our democracy. The webinar series builds awareness about how we can individually and collectively revitalize American institutions to ensure our country’s democracy delivers on its promise.

This webinar examines how Americans think about and trust science in an era of rapid technological change, political polarization, and misinformation. Through data-driven analysis and discussion, panelists will explore trends in public confidence toward scientists, the institutions that produce scientific knowledge, and the social and cultural factors that shape these attitudes. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of what strengthens or undermines trust in science - and what that means for policymaking, education, and the health of American democracy.

Panel: Russ Altman, Stanford University; Mark Horowitz, Stanford University; Arthur Lupia, University of Michigan; Amy Zegart, Hoover Institution, Moderator
