For this episode I am very excited to talk to Ben Goldacre. Ben has an outstanding career in medicine, science and science communication and is the author of many articles and books, like e.g. "Bad Science". Today is he running the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science in Oxford, UK.
I met with Ben Goldacre earlier this year (2022) to discuss his report on 'Better, Broader, Safer: Using Health Data for Research and Analysis'. This report, published in April 2022 and commissioned by the UK government, is based on more than 300 individual interviews and many more with key stakeholder groups.
One of the key findings and recommendations is the need for proper software engineering. Needless to say that RSEs play an important part in this.
In fact, Ben has been a strong supporter and promoter for Research Software Engineering as well as open science and software.
