An audio interview with The Conversation, on smashing the walls of the Ivory Tower

October 3rd, 2016 by Ben Goldacre in bad science | No Comments »

The Conversation is a great media outlet, because it’s run by academic nerds, but made for everyone. I had a nice time chatting with them last week: we discussed transparency, data sharing, statins, research integrity, risk communication, culture shift, academic activism, and why we should kick through the walls of the ivory tower. Caution: contains nerds!
