Podcast: Fear of experts

12 July 2017

Do we listen to experts? Do we lack evidence in our policy making? Join LEAP UK for the Stop and Search podcast as they take a look at the interplay between politics and science - with guests:

  • Professor David Nutt - as a senior adviser to the Government, Professor Nutt was sacked in a high profile case. Professor Nutt went on to found the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs
  • Chris Coltrane - comedian and satirist, Chris hosts the monthly Lolitics podcast where he and his guests dissect politics quirky
  • Elle Wadsworth – Elle is a Research Assistant in the Addictions Department at King’s College London. Elle and her co-hosts produce a podcast called What’s the Crack

Come along and bring your questions and opinions. Does science need to play a bigger part in policy making? Are we officially afraid and distrusting of experts?

This is a live recording for the Distraction Pieces Network's Stop and Search, produced in association with LEAP UK
