Detecting Bad Science with Data
For more than a decade there\u2019ve been longstanding concerns about the credibility and reliability of science research. This \u201cbad science\u201d has often stemmed from poor data practice or worse. But statistics can also help us identify and understand some of what\u2019s going wrong, whether that\u2019s selective data-slicing or outright fabrication.
Tim Harford talks to writer and broadcaster Michael Blastland about his new BBC radio documentary \u2018The Truth Police\u2019, which hears from the outsiders who are calling out fraud, malpractice and incompetence in science.
