Using causal language when reporting research that only provides evidence of a correlation is one of the most common errors in science reporting. Professor David Spiegelhalter explains why correlation is not the same as causation - and what language you can use to clearly and accurately communicate observational vs experimental research. David Spiegelhalter is a statistician, author and broadcaster. His book THE ART OF STATISTICS is a worldwide bestseller. He was the Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge for many years, and served a term as the President of the Royal Statistical Society. 🔗🔗 Links🔗🔗 RealRisk: a tool for science communicators 👉👉 The Winton Centre's website: 🌐 🌐 Risky Talk the podcast with David Spiegelhalter: 🗣️🎙️ More on David's book The Art of Statistics -
