I very much agree.
Earlier, I wanted to mention science literacy. I didn't get a chance to do that. I think that's something that we, collectively, can do. It's something that is in the best interest of the country and the population. It empowers them to make decisions for themselves and to be able to tell what is real and what is not. That, of course, impacts so many decisions in their lives.
I think citizen science is also a very good way of encouraging understanding of what science is and is not, and also of instilling confidence in the public in terms of data collection and the data that is being used to justify certain actions.
I think we can work on many fronts on this.
