The motto of the world’s oldest learned scientific society says it all: nullius in verba: ‘take nobody’s word for it’.
“If science teaches us one thing it is to be sceptical about claims that are not backed by hard evidence. The motto of the world’s oldest learned scientific society says it all: nullius in verba: ‘take nobody’s word for it’.”
Roger Highfield is the Director of External Affairs at the Science Museum Group
