## Resource

In this episode of Nature hits the books , we speak with  Nature 's Helen Pearson whose book  Beyond Belief: How Evidence Shows What Really Works  looks at the history of using evidence, rather than opinion, in decision making. The book traces the course of the movement in various disciplines, such as the rise of evidence-based medicine in the 90s, looking at the rebels who led the charge, the barriers they faced, and why the use of evidence is crucial at a time when misinformation is rife.
