Risky Talk
How can we best communicate the risks and the evidence on the most pressing issues of the day – from genetics and nutrition, to climate change and immigration? David Spiegelhalter is joined by the world’s top experts to tackle urgent, practical challenges which affect us all.
Doing Journalism with Data
Statistics need care and context - but journalists are under pressure to craft engaging stories. Is there a way of doing both?
Joining David to explore how you turn data into a clear and compelling story are:
Caelainn Barr - Data Projects Editor at The Guardian
Tom Chivers - Science Editor at UnHerd and the author of How To Read Numbers: A Guide to Statistics in the News (and Knowing When to Trust Them)
Paul Milner - Programmes Director at National Numeracy
