Should society trust science? Why, or why not?
We are happy to be launching The Crastina International Microessay Competition 2020. As you may have seen, Crastina is exploring the topic of ‘Science and Trust’ and its implications for science communication. Now we are eager to hear (read) our follower’s opinions on the matter, so we are asking: should society trust in science? Your challenge is to answer the question in 150 words. We will be sharing some of our favourites during the course of the theme!
