Today, our director Tracey Brown spoke at the debate 'Fake science – the threat of scientific misinformation to integrity, competitiveness and democracy.' During her opening remarks, MEP Lina Gálvez firmly put the “fake science” discussion in the domain of the business model of technology.

'The People’s Case for Curators' has recently been showcased at #EvidenceWeek in the UK Parliament and in the Charleston Conference in the US. Together with @sagepub.com we continue to make the case for #PublicGoodCuration and the principles that underpin it. senseaboutscience.org/activities/p...

#EvidenceWeek in Parliament is such an important initiative, bringing together the public, researchers and parliamentarians to discuss how evidence is used at Westminster. Includes training sessions for parliamentary staff on how to handle and interpret evidence – crucial step in the briefing of MPs

A science-focused day in Parliament. After meeting Tropic, I joined the Quadram Institute for Evidence Week to hear about their research on hidden hunger in the UK. Brilliant work happening at Norwich Research Park. Proud to champion it. ➡️ buff.ly/k9fmxdr

Evidence Week in Parliament is in full swing, and on Tuesday I had the brilliant opportunity to speak with Professor Sian Taylor Philips about health screening. Her insights were on population screening programmes for cancer, during pregnancies and for newborns were invaluable.

✔️ As part of Evidence Week in Parliament, I met with the Institute for Research in Schools (IRIS), who want to change the culture of UK education so that every young person experiences real research while at school.

Evidence matters. This week in Parliament, #EvidenceWeek is bringing researchers, MPs and the public together to look at how we use facts and data to make better decisions. A great reminder that good policy starts with good evidence.

Last week, Dr Glory Aigbedion joined us in Parliament to ask her question on community involvement in research to a panel of experts as part of our #EvidenceWeek 'reverse' committee hearing. Thank you to all who submitted their questions on the evidence behind policies.

Earlier this week, during the #EvidenceWeek opening reverse committee, @laurenceto.bsky.social joined us at Westminster to ask MPs a question on an issue that matters to him - it's great to have public voices shaping the conversation on evidence and policy.

Antonia Bance MP took the witness stand at the #EvidenceWeek reverse committee hearing this week, on behalf of the Business and Trade Committee. People from across the UK came to Westminster to put their questions directly to MPs, asking about the evidence behind the issues that matter most to them.

“Science has recently been the professed interest of just a handful of MPs… But this year, something has changed.” Our Director Tracey Brown explores Parliament's growing interest among MPs in science and research, and how #EvidenceWeek helps bridge the gap between policymakers and researchers.

Thanks for a great session on Restoring Confidence in Science to our panelists, who discussed #PublicGoodCuration, the principles that underlie it, why it matters and how society relies on librarians, journalists, publishers, researchers & integrity officers for reliable information.#chsconf25
