What makes bad science? And how do we avoid it in a 'publish or perish' world? All science relies on statistics to some degree. Professor David Colquhoun argues that bad statistics are running rampant in biosciences today, and that pressures and incentives in academia are to blame. As a highly successful molecular pharmacologist, Prof. Colquhoun uses his influence and unique style to fight pseudoscience and managerialism, and to educate young scientists on good statistical practice.

Whether you feel the publication pressure yourself, want to practice better statistics, or just want to meet the eccentric, pipe-smoking pharmacology professor, this is sure to be an interesting lecture!
