Hundreds of scholars say U.S. is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism
Most — but not all — political scientists are deeply troubled by the president's attempts to expand executive power, according to a national survey.

It was about time someone developed a proper science literacy measure! This scale looks very promising ✨
We present: A new instrument to measure people’s science literacy. #OpenAccess in #ScienceCommunication: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... 📢
It’s a 14-item #survey scale in English, German, French and Italian covering three key dimensions of science literacy: civic, media and cognitive literacy 💡

Truth Sandwich 🥪
Reporting on politics these days is a challenge.
Use the Truth Sandwich.
State facts, then the falsehood, then facts again. Facts first and last. Don’t amplify falsehoods without context.
This is a useful reminder for journalists and in public discussions

Our global study on the state of trust in scientists is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🥳
With a team of 241 researchers, we surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries, providing the largest dataset on trust in scientists post-pandemic 👇🧵https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-02090-5

Get this. Just had a paper rejected.
Main reason? Didn’t use multi item measurement.
What constructs? What time did you go to bed…what time did you get out of bed…etc.
This holiday season let’s be a little more reflective and a little less reflexive about measurement “rules”

I would like to share our recent research on climate science consensus communication. We know such messages can inform people, but most research was conducted in the US.
We now find that the informing effect of consensus messaging is very robust internationally. But…
