UCL Lunch Hour Lecture - Does social science tell the truth?

Speaker: Professor David Shanks, Head of Division, UCL Psychology and Language Sciences 

There is now abundant evidence that only around half of all published findings in the social sciences are true, and research even suggests that some entire bodies of work are based on non-existent effects.

Join Professor David Shanks as he discusses a range of remedies that could make social science research more credible and robust.
