On the work of science in times of Corona

Despite high incidence figures, especially in eastern Saxony, many citizens are questioning scientific findings and the resulting political decisions.
We ask ourselves: Has the corona crisis taken away the trust of Upper Lusatians in science?
Why do large sections of the population not believe scientific findings? How does science work at all? How are political decisions based on scientific findings? How can science and society come together again?
We want to discuss these questions at our online dialog events as part of the Saxony5 transfer project under the name "#coronadialog - Who can you still believe?" together with scientists from the HSZG, politicians, citizens of the district of Görlitz and all other interested parties.
The 2nd dialog on the topic "Science as a curse or blessing for corona policy?" will also take place online on Monday, March 15, 2021 from 7 pm.
Together with scientists from the region, we want to discuss how science works, the long road that even pioneering inventions have had to travel and the uncertainties and controversies that exist in science. We want to ask ourselves what we can do together to bring science and the public closer together again.
