By the early 1920s, an unlikely pair a powerful national newspaper publisher and a California-based zoologist decided that they d had enough. Enough of half-baked reporting on research results, enough of stories that left readers confused about even the basic principles of science. They wanted something better. They wanted reporting that encouraged a “scientific habit of mind,” a citizenry aware of the role of research in everyday life.
However unlikely, the alliance between Edward Willis Scripps, founder of one of America s largest newspaper chains, and Harvard-trained zoologist William Emerson Ritter, ran deep. The two men shared a belief in science as the new century s most powerful transformative agent and also a belief that scientists were doing a poor job of communicating this.

Alongside the pandemic, we’ve also had a parallel crisis: the infodemic, an unending stream of dis- and misinformation flooding social media feeds and online discussions. These types of rumors and falsehoods aren’t new, but the scale with which they spread online is unprecedented, allowing everyone from foreign governments to solo scammers to twist narratives down to the hyper-local level.
