The next meeting of the Royal Statistical Society Glasgow Local Group:
Thursday 26th February: Health Freaks on Trial
Speaker: Martin Bland, Professor of Health Statistics, Dept. of Health Sciences, University of York
Summary: In 2013, Channel 4 broadcast “Health Freaks”, a series of six programmes on some rather bizarre home remedies. Martin was advisor and statistical analyst for four clinical trials in this series. He will talk about how this came about, describe each of the trials, their sometimes surprising results and how they were presented, and his seconds of televisual fame.
Time: 17.30-18:30, followed by drinks and nibbles
Place: Room 203, Maths Building, University of Glasgow, G12 8QW. Map available at https://sites.google.com/site/rssglasgow/events
