A call for greater transparency around the data

"We are living in a time where we have greater access to lifesaving medicines and treatments than ever before."

"But we’re also seeing a surge in the rejection of the medical research and the scientific community in general, with anti-vaccination activists and climate change sceptics building followings and taking seats in government."

"How do we bridge the divide to those who have lost trust in science?"

"Dr Ben Goldacre – epidemiologist, columnist and author of the books Bad Pharma and Bad Science – believes that greater transparency around the data used in research and better communication of results is the answer."

"And he thinks the public can understand a lot more about scientific research than either the media or academia gives them credit for."
