Mis establos!!!

Although I preferred IRC I'm now on Twitter at @JoBrodie. None of the science or medical information I might post to this blog should be taken as medical advice (I'm not medically trained). Think of this blog as a sort of nursery for my half-baked ideas hence 'stuff that occurs to me'.

I work both at (Job 1) Diabetes UK as a Science Information Officer (effectively a science-specialist librarian but not quite a clinical librarian) and (Job 2) Queen Mary University of London (on the EPSRC-funded @CHI_MED project); all views are my own. EMAIL is me.meeeee @ gmail.com (replace me and meeeee with obvious letters, eg... jo.brodie@ etc).
