In the third episode of this four-part series, Louis Coiffait-Gunn, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), joins Camille Gamboa, AVP of Corporate Communications at Sage, to discuss the current environment for public trust in science. First, Louis shares CILIP’s background and previews its upcoming five-year strategy and updated mission. Next, Louis and Camille highlight major obstacles toward restoring public trust in research, reflecting on censorship attacks, political interference, and, of course, artificial intelligence. Our guests also share why information curators within and outside academia are stepping up in this moment to champion academic freedom, access to information, and research impact. Camille also touches briefly on The People’s Case for Curators, the recent guide from Sage and Sense about Science.
