With Trump freezing science in the name of efficiency and combating wokeness (www.science.org/content/arti...), this line from my book is rattling around my head - a line I wrote back in the proposal. Many of our fellow citizens think progress rolls on despite rather than because of "experts."

A few months ago I read @philipncohen.com's Citizen Scholar in proof. It's now available in print. To restore public trust in expertise, professors can’t just profess—they need to engage. Citizen Scholar explores how contemporary academics can do this, and why they might choose to.
