How to Spot Bad Science
October 15, 2011 at 10:47 pm

Dr. Ben Goldacre, an epidemiologist, shines some light on a bunch of bullshit and how to know when you're being fed bullshit.

http://www.ted.com/talks/ben_goldacre_ba...ience.html

This guy talks with a brittish accent and very fast, but if you can understand him it's awesome.

It's something useful to everyone, so I thought I'd share.

Enjoy, discuss.
