Welcome to Standard Error, a podcast that takes the mystery out of clinical trial statistics. Each episode explores key concepts — from randomisation to risk ratios — in a way that’s clear, conversational, and (we hope) surprisingly enjoyable. Designed for researchers, clinicians, and the statistically curious. Co-presented by Dr Mike Trott, Research Fellow in Psychiatric Epidemiology at the University of Queensland, and Dr Ravi Iyer, statistician at Swinburne University.
