Episode in TED TALKS
Cuando una nueva droga se prueba, los resultados de las pruebas tienen que ser publicados para el resto del mundo médico. Pero muchas veces, los hallazgos negativos o inconclusos no se informan, dejando a doctores e investigadores en la penumbra. En esta charla apasionada, Ben Goldacre explica por qué estas instancias de información negativa son particularmente confusas y peligrosas. Ben Goldacre unpicks dodgy scientific claims made by scaremongering journalists, dubious government reports, pharmaceutical corporations, PR companies and quacks.

Episode in TED TALKS
TED TALKS: Battling bad science 07/10/20130 Comentarios So I'm a doctor, but I kind of slipped sideways into research, and now I'm an epidemiologist.And nobody really knows what epidemiology is.

And it's best understood through example as the science of those crazy, wacky newspaper headlines. And these are just some of the examples.These are from the Daily Mail.
