Support Better Science
Support Better Science by helping us create it
We are not asking for money. The most valuable support you can give is your expertise, your perspective and your time.
Science shapes the technology we use every day and the medical care that keeps us healthy. Too often, though, the people doing the research are not the people explaining it, and that gap gets filled by headlines, hype and misinformation.
Better Science exists to close that gap. We believe research should be explained clearly and honestly, with its limits in plain view, and the best people to help do that are the scientists, clinicians and informed readers who know the work.
Ways to get involved
Pick whatever fits your time and your strengths.
Write with us
Contribute an article, a commentary on new research, or an explainer on a topic you know well. We help with editing and sourcing.
Be heard on video
Rather talk than write? We can set up a video conversation about your work and publish it here.
Review and advise
Help us check that our articles represent the evidence fairly, or tell us where we got something wrong.

How it works

It goes live with your name
Contributions are credited to their authors, with links to every source so readers can check the evidence.
Questions
Do I need to be a scientist?
No. Researchers, clinicians, educators, students and curious readers are all welcome. What matters is that you care about getting the evidence right.
What topics do you cover?
New research and how to read it, medicine and health, AI in science and medicine, research methods, and how scientific publishing works. If your topic touches science and the public, we would like to hear about it.
Will my name be on my work?
Yes. Contributions are credited to their authors.
I would rather talk than write. Is that possible?
Yes. We can set up a recorded video conversation about your research and publish it on the site.
