The phrase "here be monsters" or "here be dragons" is believed to have been used on ancient maps to indicate unexplored territories that might harbor unknown beasts. This book delves into places between science and politics that have been left unexplored, sometimes hiding in plain sight, in an era when there was increased emphasis on openness. The book is rooted in a research program funded by the Leverhulme Trust entitled "Making Science Public: Challenges and Opportunities," which ran from 2014 to 2017. One focus of our research was to critically question the assumption that making science more open and public could solve various issues around scientific credibility, trust, and legitimacy. Chapters in this book explore the risks and benefits of this perspective with regard to transparency, responsibility, experts, and faith.
