For our 2nd Week event, OxASH is very excited to have Professor David Colquhoun FRS speaking about “The Corruption of Science by Managerialism, Bibliometrics and Quackery.”

Prof. Colquhoun, described by the Guardian as the “Twitter-addicted scourge of scientific quackery,” was AJ Clark Chair of Pharmacology at UCL, where he made significant contributions to the study of single ion channel functioning.
His blog DC’s Improbable Science was winner of the 2012 UK Science Blog Prize:

Over the past decade, he has campaigned against pseudoscience in all its forms, criticizing alternative medicines like homeopathy and acupuncture, as well as attacking Prince Charles (‘The Quacktitioner Royal’) for his political support of these treatments.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions after the talk.
