Previous studies have touched on this topic.
For instance, a survey among 1000 Germans published last week showed that 46% said they trusted scientists on the topic of the origin of the universe, whereas 17% distrusted them; but on genetically modified crops, only 17% of respondents trusted scientists, whereas 56% did not.
As a physician-scientist, my thoughts on this topic are somewhat biased and reflect my parochial views, as well as the more reasoned concerns raised by others (Goldstein and Brown 1997; Ley and Rosenberg 2005; Rosenberg 2000; Wyngaarden 1979; Zerhouni 2005), on the fragile future of our species.
The fact remains there are large uncertainties and intense debate among scientists on this and other climate change topics, even if, as has been said, 97 per cent agree that the world is warming and that humans are partly to blame.
Because of a paucity of studies on this topic involving children, scientists previously had little evidence that people gossiped before approximately age 10.
In the past 20 years, cognitive scientists have subjected this topic to intense experimental scrutiny.
A recently published meta-analysis of survey data on this topic estimates that almost 2% of scientists have admitted fabricating, falsifying, or modifying data at least once and, when asked about colleagues' behavior, over 14% of scientists surveyed reported knowing of data falsification.
The aim of this workshop was to establish a network of experts on this topic and to promote knowledge exchange between scientists, regulators, practitioners and stakeholders.
Some scientists believe that keeping quolls as pets could aid in their long-term conservation, but further research is needed on this topic to conclude whether this is true or false.
He isn't restrained on this topic.
