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'.

POST notes in reverse chronological order - Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology

POST has updated its website (in 2019) meaning that it's list of the lovely little POST-notes (short briefing documents written for Ministers) is no longer visible on a single page. Each note now has its own blurb, a picture and there are about 10 of them on a page. That looks very nice but sometimes I just want a list, so I've attempted to recreate it.

The new page is here  
https://post.parliament.uk/briefing-type/postnote/ 
also here
https://post.parliament.uk/research-briefings/
 
and the old link http://www.parliament.uk/postnotes now points to the first one. I put the old link into the Wayback Machine and grabbed the info below from archive copy which was last saved in 2018.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180216225929/http://www.parliament.uk/postnotes
 

I'll add to it occasionally to bring it up to the near-present day. 

All the POST note links (except 571) start with web.archive.org because they inherit the archival link information, but they all point to the correct place. However they take longer to load so my advice is to note the name / number of the one you're after and search for it on the live page: https://post.parliament.uk/briefing-type/postnote/

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).
