Abstract
In these days of political instability, geopolitical tensions, and social discontent around the world, there are continued threats to the principles, conduct, and findings of science. This assault on science has been fueled by flooding the public with confusing information from both traditional and digital media. One concept that creates misunderstanding is "scientific consensus." It's time to stop using this shorthand and make clear what it really means.
