of the world to wrestle with various critical challenges. Although difficult to draw a causal relationship, one could argue that our inability to pass legislation based on obvious scientific merit is partially the result of broad-based misunderstanding of
science itself. The pervasive and crippling “culture war” between faith and reason is, one could similarly argue, fueled by the absence of appropriately humble claims and definitions (from both sides). For the sake of progress and harmony in the 21<sup>st</sup>
century, we urgently need to architect and disseminate a new narrative for science. I will share ongoing work and thinking to this effect.</span></font></p>
