100% on this issue ( #SciComm not a distraction). Behavioral psych indicates evidence doesn't often change people's minds but in these convos, I've found citations productive. Here are some of my go-tos. If I find them, I'll tag an author from each, so they can chime in. https://twitter.com/iamscicomm/status/1354217559516532738
