Have you ever watched Dr Ben Goldacre speak? If not, well you should! Check out this YouTube link. It’s from July 2011, Edinburgh, Scotland TED Talks.
He’s great at explaining what makes trials fair as well as highlighting all the issues in science.
Enjoy!
YouTube video series by Dr. Aaron Carroll called Healthcare Triage, where his motto is, “To the Research!”
In his new book, Dr. Goldacre continues his crusade of exposing quacks and pseudoscience, with an emphasis on how journalists totally mislead the public about what a scientific paper really says. He also chronicles his AllTrials quest by railing against the lack of transparency in clinical trials and publication bias.
