Stuff that occurs to me

All of my 'how to' posts are tagged here. The most popular posts are about blocking and private accounts on Twitter, also the science communication jobs list. 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'.

Diabetes statistics bookmarked

We are in the process of updating our 'Diabetes in the UK 2010' document and I thought it was about time I got some of my stats-related bookmarks into a better order. They've rather run away with themselves and hopefully by putting them here I'll be able to work out what it was I was trying to find information on. This is a bit of a mixed bag (by no means complete) as we end up working on different aspects of it. If I find anything bookmark-worthy from my colleagues I'll add it here as well.

EDIT: 2 August 2011 - I've added a few more statistics resources.

If you know of a great resource that I've not put here yet, do give me a prod @JoBrodie ta :)

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
