Dr Ben Goldacre
We are delighted that Ben Goldacre, Guardian columnist, doctor and unsurpassed debunker of 'bad science' is joining us at our Stratford campus to highlight the latest mythologies and questionable logic claimed as scientific fact.
Ben Goldacre has written the Guardian’s Bad Science column for 6 years, where he exposes misleading science journalism, health scare hoaxes, pill-pushing quacks and the crimes of the evil multinational pharmaceutical industry. He will talk about how the media promote the publics’ misunderstanding of evidence, focusing on health scares, journalists’ hoaxes, and their consequences, as well as cases where scientists have had their work misrepresented and failed to get satisfaction from newspapers.

All welcome, admission FREE.
