The credibility crisis in science reflects a broader disregard for indigenous knowledge, marginalized voices, and holistic perspectives.
By centering these voices and knowledge, we can develop a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of scientific inquiry and work towards a more credible and trustworthy scientific enterprise. This requires a fundamental shift in the way we approach scientific inquiry, one that prioritizes transparency, diversity, equity, and inclusion. By establishing inclusive peer review processes, centering indigenous knowledge and perspectives, and developing holistic and inclusive scientific inquiry, we can work towards a more robust and sustainable scientific enterprise that serves the needs of all people and the planet.
