Welcome back, you sciency science-lovers!
This is a VERY SPECIAL episode (I know… ALL our episodes are special, but this is even more special!)because it’s the first of a 3-episode miniseries made in collaboration with Cochrane, the international charitable organization promoting evidence-informed health decision-making, by producing top quality systematic reviews which have now become the gold standard for evidence-based information.
They have an official collaboration with Wikipedia, the NIH, the World Health Organization
…and now they are working with The Science Basement!
Found out more about Cochrane here:

In this episode Tomàs and Lea (Supreme Leader of the Science Basement) discuss about systematic reviews in times of COVID-19 with Dr. John Lavis.
Dr. John Lavis is a member of the Cochrane editorial board, member of the Cochrane knowledge-translation advisory group and Team founder and director of the McMaster Health Forum.
Lea Urpa is a PhD student studying the genomics of neurodevelopmental disorders at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) at the University of Helsinki.
Lea is the chair of The Science Basement, and was very excited to be invited to co-host the TSB podcast for this very interesting and timely topic.
Your hosts this week are Tomás Garnier Artiñano & Lea Urpa.
