@kerryalbright.bsky.social also spoke about the need to shift to a mindset of "capacity sharing" rather "capacity building" when working with evidence generators and users.
Both Kerry & Isabella spoke about the need to understand the evidence user & get creative in how evidence is shared.

What tools & skills do intermediaries need? "You have to be a connector across different sectors & interests" says @kerryalbright.bsky.social. Be a social listener, be able to see the bigger picture, be able to understand emerging trends & concerns.

"The answer to science’s influence problem is not trust building but rather aiding better-placed confidence and communicating the truth in a more compelling way, one that does not assume a lack of competing sources or that everyone is playing by the same rules of evidence."
Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust
Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway.
