“More than 7 in 10 U.S. adults claim a religious affiliation. In STEM fields however, faith is often thought to be a source of tension. The U.S. public views scientists as mostly trustworthy in their areas of expertise, but also as hostile or indifferent to faith. Additionally, many scientists of faith are quiet about their religious identity, fearing derision or discrimination. Our workshop highlights faith as an important aspect of identity that should be specifically considered in science engagement.”
