How does your best bowler only bowl overs 8 and 11 when your only chance of winning is wickets? And still hasn’t bowled 2 with 22 to win and 6 left… #t20wc2026

In @wellcomettrust’s trust in science programme, we want to encourage scientists, and people who care about and value science, to think about how they can better earn public trust. It’s been great to contribute an oped to this week’s @nature in this vein (link in next post) 🧵

None of this means that scientists shouldn’t have and argue for political beliefs, or to play an active part in public policy. But to earn the trust across the political spectrum that's needed for stable long-term influence, it pays to reflect on these challenges.

It's been brilliant to collaborate with @LukeTryl and @Moreincommon_ team on this. I've also written about this today linkedin.com/posts/mark-hend…
🧪 We have a major new report out today with @wellcometrust on trust in science. While we find that the UK has so far avoided the polarisation of science we see elsewhere and science is a source of optimism. There are signs the public’s trust is becoming lukewarm & conditional.
