About this Event
This event is part of the Jesus College Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub Events Programme.
Ben Goldacre wrote the Bad Science column in the Guardian for a decade while working as a doctor and academic; he has delivered two ministerial reviews on better use of data and evidence in health and education; his books have sold over 600,000 copies; his online lectures have had over 4 million views.
He is a Professorial Fellow at Jesus College and Director of the Bennett Institute, where he builds major data infrastructure projects for the NHS including OpenSAFELY.org and OpenPrescribing.net; and drives initiatives for better use of open code and reproducible methods in research such as TrialsTracker.net and AllTrials.net.
In this talk, Ben will cover his career advocating for better research methods, and the differences - if any - in addressing these complex issues with the public, policymakers, and researchers.
Doors open at 6pm with drinks reception. Talk begins at 6.30pm, followed by Q&A.
