Letter: Science giants do a good job: we're hooked and keen to learn
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Science coverage in the media is better than it has ever been, and part of the reason is the increasing willingness of research scientists to explain their work to non-scientists. If you want a diversity of voices, then you have to want a diversity of opinion. Is Tudge saying that he, and other science journalists, have an unerring eye for the truth? Would he want to replace the fictitious cabal of scientists with a real cabal of hacks?
