On April 2, 2013, Stanford's Center for Law and the Biosciences hosted an afternoon discussion with Dr. John Ioannidis on "The Reliability of Biomedical Evidence and How To Improve It."
Dr. Ioannidis is the Professor of Medicine and Director of the Stanford Prevention Research Center at Stanford University School of Medicine. His 2005 paper in PLoS Medicine, "Why most Published Research Findings are False," has been the most-downloaded article in the history of the Public Library of Science and has been described by the Boston Globe as an instant cult classic.
