Why start blogging now?
The title for this blog is a homage the ABC TV show “Media Watch” which critiques the Australian media and is never short of content. Similarly there’s a lot wrong in the way people use statistics, so this blog is mainly about the use and misuse of statistics.
I’ve got a post coming on how my research has been misused by those trying to deny the climate crisis. I also want to write about some statistical mistakes I’ve made in published papers, which I realise may just help the climate change propagandists to undermine my credibility.
