Public trust in science is vital for tackling global challenges. Recently, global surveys and Many Labs collaborations have begun to broaden the scope of research. However, these studies have also highlighted theoretical and methodological challenges.

We conclude by encouraging reflection on the normative assumptions that currently guide research on trust in science.
