As misinformation spreads and public trust is increasingly tested, education has never been more important. In this discussion, Nobel Laureates and Young Scientits explore how curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific literacy can lay the foundations for trust in science. From embracing uncertainty to fostering transparency, integrity, and effective communication, the session examines how educators, researchers, and institutions can empower future generations to navigate complexity and champion evidence-based dialogue in an increasingly polarized world.
