DESCRIPTION:Ben Goldacre is a doctor\, researcher\, and best-selling autho
 r whose book "Bad Science" has sold over 500\,000 copies. He runs the Data
 Lab at the University of Oxford\, building tools and services from health 
 datasets\; and advises government on better use of data and evidence. Afte
 r his talk he will be in conversation with Michael Blastland\, author\, jo
 urnalist\, and BBC Radio 4 broadcaster.\n\nRandomised trials are widely re
 garded as the most "fair test" of "what works". This is often correct: but
  like any tool they can be used thoughtfully\, or clumsily. This talk will
  cover a rogues gallery\, showing how trials have been under-used\, but al
 so\, sometimes: badly designed\, badly reported\, badly received\, and mis
 understood. \n\nTo book your ticket at this talk click here:\nhttps://www.
