Tracey Brown

Tracey Brown OBE has been the director of Sense about Science since 2002. Under her leadership, the charity has turned the case for sound science and evidence into popular campaigns to urge scientific thinking among the public and decision makers. It has launched important initiatives to expand and protect honest discussions of evidence, including AllTrials, a successful global campaign for the reporting of all clinical trial outcomes; and Ask for Evidence. It has challenged opinions and changed the behaviour of governments, media and corporations in the use of scientific evidence. Tracey initiated the international Maddox prize with Nature, and Evidence Week in Parliament, emulated across Europe. She leads SaS’ work on the transparency of evidence used by governments in policy, to ensure that the public has access to the same evidence and reasoning as decision-makers, and Responsible Handover, a commissioning tool for AI that everyone can use.
