Disclosure

    Nobody pays me to write any of the copy on my blog, and should I ever have the good fortune that they do, I will declare it. My main employment is as the owner and principal of The Future Place consultancy. The Future Place provides two key services 1) training and services to industry and academic bodies and 2) consultancy services to companies. The details of the companies I work with are a private matter, but if I blog about any company who has paid The Future Place more than expenses recently (approx. two years) I will mention that they are a client. I hold equity in Virtual Surveys and provide consulting services to them from time to time. I am paid to run courses for a number of trade bodies and over the last few years clients have included ESOMAR, AMSRS, MRS, and MRIA.

The Bad Science Column

Following my rant, yesterday, about the decline in the application of rationality, as evidenced by the UK campaign against twin bin refuse collection, Mario (who has a blog here) recommended Dr Ben Goldacre’s Bad Science site.

The Bad Science column has been a regular feature of the Guardian since 2003 and specialises in exposing bad science, faulty thinking, and exposing the sleight of hand of some PR, marketing, and advertising types. I have spent the last hour or so reading back articles on Bad Science, and can warmly recommend it – many thanks Mario.
