Frequent readers of this blog may remember an earlier post, in which I discussed the problem of publication bias in medical literature.
Recently, I came accross an excellent blog called bad science that chronicles the issues of communicating statistical results (specifically about medical research) to the broader community, and especially the difficulties that arise when (oftentimes sensationalist) media are involved.
The posts are generally very accessible, and serve to highlight the (growing?) enormity of this issue. Kudos to Goldacre!
