The New York City Metro chapter of AHCJ is proud to announce Dr. Ben Goldacre will be speaking to health journalists at its Feb. 20 meeting.

Goldacre (@bengoldacre), a physician, is author of the best-selling book “Bad Science” and the new book “Bad Pharma,” which is already making waves around the globe. Goldacre’s website says he specializes in “unpicking dodgy scientific claims from drug companies, newspapers, government reports, PR people and quacks. Unpicking bad science is the best way to explain good science.”

Goldacre has been writing the Bad Science column in the Guardian since 2003. His latest campaign, his biggest ever, is AllTrials.net, which is seeking to have all clinical trials registered, all summary results reported, and full Clinical Study Reports made publicly available.
