3M State of Science Index

Dec 21

The 3M State of Science Index Survey revealed that appreciation for science and trust in scientists has increased significantly in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Only 28 percent of surveyors reported being skeptical of science, compared with 35 percent in pre-pandemic 2020, 32 percent in 2019, and 29 percent in 2018. However, news and social media sources have a much lower level of trust.
