A collection of his favourite newspaper articles. I enjoyed them, they're collected by theme. I listened to this on Playaway (honestly love this format) and it's part narrated by the author and by Jot Davies. The author reads the beginning and the end and Jot takes the middle, major portion. It ...
Bad Science by Ben Goldacre “I spend a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me - I would go so far as to say that it's my favourite leisure activity.” I'm an avid fan of More or Less, the popular statistics radio programme on BBC Radio, and I always enjoy Ben Goldacre's appearances ...
We don't regulate our drugs and the drug companies enough and insist on ensuring that data about the edges of results, I begin to wonder if the drug companies had previous seen the side-effects I suffered with a blood pressure medication and if I could have avoided hundreds of euro in specialist fee...

There have been plenty of good books pass before my eyes since my last review, but I felt content just to let a short sentence, a star rat...
An extension of his blog, this is a collection of basically rants about how science and statistics are abused by a variety of people.
