Well… there are very few scientists who are willing to actually learn how to communicate science well to everyone. Let alone, go public with it. I can only name a handful of scientists/doctors/scientific influencers at the top of my head who, I think, do a great job making science accessible to all, without being insufferable jerks about it. Those are Dr. Alok Kanoja (AKA Healthygamergg on Youtube), Dr. Mikhail Oskarovich Varshaviski (AKA Dr. Mike on Youtube), Dr. Francis Collins (AKA Biologos), and Dr. Andrew Huberman (AKA Huberman lab on Youtube).

But, even those guys aren’t enough to stem the tsunami of anti-intellectualism ripping through our country right now. Especially because there are far more public intellectuals who’re only making things worse by doubling down on ideas like “science and religion are mutually exclusive”. 

So, how else can we revive the public’s trust in science? How else can we, as writers and scientists, help revive the public’s trust in science against the odds? 

Well… I don’t have the answer, but I have my tentative (and uncomfortable) ideas, one of which I already alluded to. I mean… I’m a writer. I’m a Christian. Technically, I’m a scientist. I have a camera. I have a Youtube account. I know how to edit photos and videos fairly well. See where I’m going with this? 

However, like pretty much every other scientist, I’m terrified of publicity.
