Sense About Science
Sense About Science is a charitable trust that equips people to make sense of scientific and medical claims in public discussion.With a database of over 5,000 scientists, from Nobel prize winners to post‐docs and PhD students, we work in partnership with scientific bodies, research publishers, policy makers, the public and the media, to change public discussions about science and evidence. Through award‐winning public campaigns, we share the tools of scientific
