In order to determine our worldview and make informed decisions that impact our lives, among other things, we need to form our own attitude towards the statements of experts and the results of scientific research. "Scientists lie and hide everything" or "scientists have proven, so it must be true"? Between these two extremes lies a vast field of ambiguity, and Stuart Ritchie's book helps us navigate it and find our own position. By providing mind-blowing examples, Ritchie describes systemic problems in the public coverage of scientific work and the structure of scientific activity, allowing us to critically reconsider everything we have read, watched, and heard about science so far. However, he does not take away our hopes for progress - on the contrary, we learn a lot about what is being done and what else can be done to strengthen trust in the work of scientists on more reliable and sustainable foundations.
