Some links I need for later for session at SciCom12

On Tuesday I'm taking part in a panel session on Communicating Tricky Topics at the Science Communication Conference (#SciCom12 is the new hashtag) and wanted to add some links here before I put them into a more formal blog post...

The Quack Clinic checklist
- a great piece highlighting some things to be aware of when determining whether or not a clinic offering some treatment or other is likely to be a bit dodgy. The information in this link will be particularly relevant for one of the four discussion sessions, which is on unproven treatments.

Everything communicates, but is everyone a communicator?
- this is more about general (not science) communication within and from a charity, touching on the use of social media and intranets. While not specifically relevant to the session we're running there's always some overlap whenever anyone talks about comms.

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).
