Science Weekly podcast: Ben Goldacre on the need for drug trial transparency

This week on Science Weekly with Kevin Fong, we hear from the author of Bad Science and Bad Pharma, Ben Goldacre about his campaign to get the pharmaceuticals industry to publish all their drug trial results.

Kevin is joined by Observer writer and commissioning editor of Observer Tech Monthly, Nicola Davis, and by Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample to discuss this week's science news, including a stay of execution for the Y chromosome, new research revealing the cause of supervolcanic eruptions, and why geoengineering our way out of any dramatic change in the Earth's climate may be a bad idea.
