Public trust in innovation is about more than trust in the new and potentially disruptive technologies it brings - it's also about how society views the organisations and researchers shepherding that technology. My colleagues in CSIRO's Responsible Innovation FSP are doing important work to understand what Australians want and expect from our research institutions. Hear Rod McCrea talk more about that work here. #responsibleinnovation

Inspired by a list of mankind's greatest scientific discoveries, Bull & Bear discuss the established and emerging Life Science markets around the world. The pair discover that the US clusters of Boston (1) and San Francisco (2) lead the way, with the UK's Golden Triangle (3) the highest ranked Life Sciences hotspot in Europe. The strength of these markets depends on a host of factors, like access to VC funding and R&D, business environment and property costs. But, wherever you are in the world, the key ingredient is access to deep pools of scientific talent.

**NEW REPORT** Tactics for Trust: A Practitioner's Playbook for Building Public Trust in Science and Other Domains 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6aPxcpN In Spring 2024, the Aspen Institute Science & Society Program convened a diverse group of multi-sector #trustbuilders for an open dialogue on effective strategies to build public trust, particularly in science. This conversation was distilled into a comprehensive 'toolkit,' now freely available to aspiring trustbuilders, scientists, and the public. This publication is the third installment in our ongoing series on public trust in science. It follows the theoretical insights shared in the December 2023 report, Building Bridges, Earning Trust: The WHY and the HOW of Public Trust in Science. Special thanks to our sponsor, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and trustbuilders, Mónica Feliú-Mójer, Ph.D., Stuart Firestein, Cary Funk, Peter Hotez MD PhD, Lee McIntyre, Barbara McQuade, Dorothy Oliver (The Panola Project), Lina Yassin, and others. Explore actionable insights and strategies designed to enhance trust-building efforts. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6aPxcpN #ScienceAndSociety #PublicTrust #TrustBuilding #TrustInScience
