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'.

Projects - some things I'm working on


Science communication jobs
This is where I post some (not all) of the job descriptions I come across. The intention is not to advertise jobs as such but to provide a longer term resource of job descriptions and person specifications.

I use this page, and the one in Slashjobs below, as my source material, and often find jobs when I look at the vacancies pages of the various organisations I've collected.

Slashjobs - /jobs
This is my idea to encourage more organisations to enable their website to support /jobs (at the end of their homepage) - this will redirect to wherever their job vacancies page is. I'm also hoping to encourage more to have RSS feeds for jobs.

Open Air Cinema - London database
The world's best invention. Whoever came up with combining 'film' and 'outside' deserves to be showered with my affection. I love outdoor movies. More here.

Diabetes Statistics
Despite no longer working at Diabetes UK (made redundant when they closed the library, no hard feelings) I retain an interest in the collection and sense-making of statistics relevant to all areas of diabetes. Probably won't keep this as up to date as some of the other projects but I'm still keen to help people find information.

I thought it might help people who want to use free images of hospitals, research etc if we first got people to post them on this Flickr group

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).
