ben goldacre witters on and on and on about things that are too long to post on twitter and not clever enough to post on his main blog at www.badscience.net
Someone asked me today, what's it like to write a book? I just
shrugged and mumbled, but thinking back to my childhood I realised I
had the answer. Take this video: play it forwards, and then backwards,
over and over, a thousand times, like a gnawing demon in both your
ears, imagining that you've written something of earth-shattering
importance, and then unreadable drivel, and then brilliance, and then
drivel, brilliance, drivel, brilliance, drivel. That's the experience
of writing a book. YMMV.
(The new book, by the way, is this, on bad behaviour by the pharmaceutical industry, though it should really be called "Why The Information Architecture of Medicine Is Broken by Ben Goldacre aged 37". Amazon say it'll be dispatched in 7 to 12 days which is optimistic since it currently only exists as a Word file on my laptop. It's out in August this year.).
I like stats. I'm a doctor. I write about dodgy scientific claims in my spare time.
