*COMPASS Seminar Series Talk by Senior Professor <NAME>, University of Münster, 2017-10-09*

The University of Auckland has brought Senior Professor <NAME> through the Distinguished Visitor award scheme. He is being hosted by [Professor <NAME>](https://unidirectory.auckland.ac.nz/profile/gt-brown) and will be giving several [other talks](#othertalks).

## Liza's one sentence summary
Fear that trust in experts is eroding has been rising since Brexit and Trump, and while Bromme shows many positive results in surveys on trust in scientists, he also demonstrates that the epistemic climate needs to be researched further and beyond just the idea of 'trust'.

## Kinds of problems which might impact on public trust
- Intentional deception
    - fabrication and falsification
        - autism and vaccines
    - plagiarism (two former German secretaries of state - defence and science/education)<commit_msg>updating post with shorter title and better description<commit_after>---

Notes from a fantastic talk by Senior Professor <NAME> called "Fraudulent results and failed replications: The effect of flawed research on the public's trust in science". Bromme is a Senior Professor (like Professor Emeritus) in Psychology at the University of Münster and he was speaking at the [COMPASS Seminar Series](http://www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/en/about/our-research/research-centres-and-archives/compass/compass-seminars.html).

The University of Auckland brought Senior Professor <NAME> over through the Distinguished Visitor award scheme. He is being hosted by [Professor <NAME>](https://unidirectory.auckland.ac.nz/profile/gt-brown) and will be giving several [other talks](#othertalks) that are well worth checking out. The COMPASS Seminar series is also really worth including in your seminar roster and our nibbles are rather good. (I may be biased here.)

The fear that trust in experts is eroding has been rising since Brexit and Trump, and while Bromme shows many positive results in surveys on trust in scientists, he also demonstrates that the epistemic climate needs to be researched further and extended beyond just the idea of 'trust'.
