The application of statistical evidence in clinical trials is the underlying theme of Ben Goldacre’s work on his Bad Science website.

Bad Science

It is full of examples of where evidence, statistics and common sense are ignored in favour of good PR and dodgy scientific claims.

The book ‘Bad Science’ is an enthralling read. I had the audio book on my ipod when I was in hospital a while ago and still had to get the paperback because I wanted to reference and reread sections. Thanks to PG for originally telling me about it.
