Ben Michael Goldacre OBE (born 20 May 1974)[3][4][5] is a British physician, academic and science writer. He is the first Bennett Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine and director of the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Oxford.[7] He is a founder of the AllTrials campaign and OpenTrials,[6] aiming to require open science practices in clinical trials.[3][8][9][10][11]
Goldacre is known in particular for his Bad Science column in The Guardian, which he wrote between 2003 and 2011, and is the author of four books: Bad Science (2008), a critique of irrationality and certain forms of alternative medicine; Bad Pharma (2012), an examination of the pharmaceutical industry, its publishing and marketing practices, and its relationship with the medical profession;[12] I Think You'll Find It's a Bit More Complicated Than That,[13] a collection of his journalism; and Statins, about evidence-based medicine.[14] Goldacre frequently delivers free talks about bad science; he describes himself as a "nerd evangelist".[15][16][17]
