Ask for Evidence campaign is coming to Scotland!

The Sense about Science Ask for Evidence campaign (#AskforEvidence) is coming to Scotland! They are hosting an event on November 25th in Glasgow.

So what is the Ask for Evidence campaign? Here it is in a nutshell:

We hear daily claims about what is good for our health, bad for the environment, how to improve education, cut crime, treat disease or improve agriculture. Some are based on reliable evidence and scientific rigour. Many are not. How can we make companies, politicians, commentators and official bodies accountable for the claims they make? If they want us to vote for them, believe them or buy their products, then we should Ask for Evidence.
