How people perceive science and how they behave with scientists. Especially since covid, people see scientists as evil mustache twirling assholes. People are completely lost on the fact that everything good in their lives comes from science. Granted, all bad stuff too, but scientists are not out there to come up with bad things to ruin your lives. That's what we have politicians for.
