Understanding Risk with Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter | Pager Podcast

Sir David Spiegelhalter joins us to discuss all things risk-related and his work as the Winton Professor of Public Understanding of Risk at Cambridge University. What is the best way to communicate risk in medicine and the broader public sphere? How can our perceptions of risk be dramatically altered by its presentation? How can we inform or persuade people using statistics and should we? How should we see risk during the Covid-19 pandemic? Finally, we also discuss how individuals and governments see risk through different eyes and how the risks presented in the media shouldn't always be taken at face value.
