Is it possible to have a mystical mindset without getting lost in magical thinking? Or worse, getting hijacked by harmful fantasies?

On the podcast, we discuss how to notice and own the emotional triggers that hijack our deeper thinking. We talk about how not to be manipulated by our pe...

Writer, doctor and champion of evidence-based medicine, Dr Ben Goldacre (Magdalen, 1992)
Dr Ben Goldacre – author of the bestsellers Bad Science and Bad Pharma – dissects what is wrong with modern medicine and argues for better evidence-based medicine in this podcast. He describes his latest projects, including an Ebola trials tracker, to improve the transparency of clinical trials. Dr Goldacre explains his research at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences’ Centre for Evidence-based Medicine, part of Oxford University. He also refers to structural challenges facing medicine and highlights the lack of funding for evidence-based projects. The self-confessed ‘stats geek’, who studied medicine at Magdalen College at Oxford University, describes how he was inspir...

Do values?In our second episode, “Party and Science and Bullsh*t,” we try our hands at answering these questions, along with philosopher of science John Dupré, astrophysicist and author Marcelo Gleiser, New York Times science columnist Carl Zimmer, and Katherine Carpenter of the Cultural Cognition project at Yale.This episode is dense with opinion from the guests, and from Aaron.

009 Membranje: slaba znanost s Sašo Novak in Gregorjem Majdičem
Ben Goldacre je britanski zdravniški »geek« in kolumnist, ki ima nenavadno navado: natančno prebere klinične raziskave, s katerimi farmacevti dokazujejo učinkovitost novih zdravil. Enako natančno prebira tudi medijske zapise in opozarja na znanstvene neumnosti, ki jih objavljajo novinarji. Njegova prva knjiga Slaba znanost ni razveselila zdravniških kolegov, farmacevtov ali novinarjev. Postala pa je ena temeljnih pripomočkov za številne znanstvenike, ki se ukvarjajo s popularizacijo in komunikacijo znanosti. Zato sva se v slaboznanstveni epizodi Membranja pogovarjala z dvema slovenskima znanstvenikoma, ki sta se naučila pogovarjati z laično javnostjo, o...

A talk hosted by Kellogg College and the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University Museum of Natural History, as part of the University's Alumni Weekend. Presented by Carl Heneghan, Jeff Aronson, Deb Cohen, Ben Goldacre, chaired by Sharon Mickan. Is it surprising that individual and institutional self-interests in research, combined with increased global competition, undermine scientific integrity? Regulatory systems that aim to underpin health research are under considerable strain. Keeping track of, and explaining why research goes wrong, is an important priority for delivery of sustained health outcomes, and support of the conduct of high quality research. Deb Cohen’s...

Ben Goldacre: What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe
When a new drug gets tested, the results of the trials should be published for the rest of the medical world -- except much of the time, negative or inconclusive findings go unreported, leaving doctors and researchers in the dark. In this impassioned talk, Ben Goldacre explains why these unreported instances of negative data are especially misleading and dangerous. A video of this talk

Once described by one writer as 'The Maverick Master of Medical Evidence'. Iain Chalmers trained as a doctor, eventually specialising in obstetrics. But early in his career, he started to question the basis of everything he was trained to do and this set him on a very different path: to champion treatments based on the best available evidence, first in his own field and then across healthcare. It's a journey that has at times challenged the...

Why are people prepared to believe in magic and pseudoscience rather than empirical evidence, and does it matter?
