not a good recent edition of horizon - here's an idea for a decent edition
get ben goldacre (or someone similar)
to do something on
what is medical science?
what constitutes evidence and what constitutes grounds for
accepting a theory (or rejecting it)
and what constitutes waffle -
could start with historical perspective - e.g.
John Snow et al...and give some
homeopathic and placebo lessons
and explain
statistical significance
and risk, properly....
remember, the stuff those folks did has contributed more to human happiness/quality of life than just about anything else except the invention of the electric guitar and the football.
yes its true, all of it - the internet doesn't really exist, so it must be.
