Seriously. This is going to take a mass, collective engagement of the scientific community with the public. Without better leadership, scientists are going to continue to keep their heads down. Science is highly vulnerable now as we haven't mounted a response like other groups.

Our community hasn’t had to really mobilize and defend our work like this in US. That’s left us a little complacent. But, I think people are realizing the need for engagement and some are stepping into leading roles.
It will take time, but I’m confident we can respond.
