Speaking science in a fractured world: making truth land when facts alone cannot.
Scientific misinformation is a defining challenge of our time. As public trust in science declines and falsehoods spread faster than facts, the scientific community must rethink its role in public discourse. This Perspective draws on a scenario-based workshop entitled 'Truth Matters: Strengthening Science Communication to Counter Misinformation', conducted at the 20th International Congress of Developmental Biology in San Juan, Puerto Rico (June 2025), designed to train scientists in emotionally attuned, culturally responsive and effective communication strategies. At the joint conference with the International Society of Developmental Biology, the Society for Developmental Biology and the Latin American Society for Developmental Biology, we explored why misinformation persists, how identity and social belonging shape belief, and why empathy, not just evidence, is essential to making truth resonate. Here, we offer a call to action along with practical tools: to make scientific knowledge meaningful, we must communicate effectively and ensure it resonates with the broader public.
期刊介绍：
Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community.
Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication.
To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.
