      I agree with almost all of it except this point: if scientists don't understand how and why they contributed to the loss of trust in them, going swashbuckling into the public sphere can actually backfire—if they don't learn how to be in a place where authority isn't automatic.

          The turn to quackery and their increasing success isn't independent of the way science/scientists have not responded and their own mistakes in all this and sometimes the way it's all been corrupted. If we carry everything into social media as is, it can even make things worse.

          These tales are almost completely wrong and only compound the problem. The Epi Center is papers like the Santa Clara study - well credentialed people push junk science for ideological lines. Ditto the Gupta study from Oxford early on.

          Authority in matters of science should lie with the scientist, not the journalist. There is a value for expertise which is diminished by the internet and retrievable media or content - recollection or access to a skill is not the same as expert exposition of a skill.

          Need people with multidisciplinary skillsets, like an understanding of the material beyond the basics AND of people. Perhaps some of the scientists who also handle most of the grant proposals also have some ability to persuasively speak and write in other contexts, too?
