 h the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication.\n\nThis year's sp
 eaker is Ed Humpherson\, Director General for Regulation at the UK Statist
 ics Authority\, and a CSaP Policy Leaders' Fellow.\n\n\nFake news\, post t
 ruth\, mistrust of experts... a familiar roll call of anxieties – or per

 rthiness – and argue that CSaP can play a key part in the fight back aga
