    • 2015 July 31, Suzi Gage, “The Drugs Work: George Davey Smith and David Nutt discuss statins and SSRIs”, in The Guardian:
      In a public lecture hosted by the British Association for Psychopharmacology and Bristol’s MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit (where I work), Professors George Davey Smith and David Nutt stripped away the sensationalisation and misinformation around statins and SSRIs. They come from very different fields, George is an epidemiologist and David a psychiatrist, but both fields can help us understand the efficacy and safety of drug treatments.
