    Every once in a while I remember that reading @bengoldacre's Bad Science and Bad Pharma was pretty much the reason I got into epidemiology, and that he now follows me on twitter, and I get a dumb little smile (hi Ben, big fan)

        Bad Science should be required reading for anyone studying to be involved in healthcare as far as I'm concerned. Also good for people not studying to be involved in healthcare.

        Everyone in school, IMO. They’ll all be subject to bad science their whole lives, after all.

        Ben inspired me massively to get into spending my time dispelling pseudoscientific nonsense! Been involved in many campaigns since reading those books! Also @CT_Bergstrom book- ‘calling Bullshit’ was inspirational too

        I recommend his book, sometimes out of exasperation, to everyone! It’s brilliant, and should be required reading on the syllabus. Any shorter version or precis we could share as a link to people sharing/advocating bad science?

        Something from https://www.badscience.net ? I guess one of his (much missed) Guardian columns?
