I am infectious!

Do you fancy taking part in some science? LSHTM runs a flu survey, which asks you to fill in a very short weekly questionnaire about cold & flu symptoms. The more the merrier!

So I've officially passed my masters! Though my project mark was kinda disappointing, bah. Still everyone else seems to think it will make an excellent paper, so I should get on with that now.
Sad things to come across in a lecture
Nov. 8th, 2014 02:36 pm"For example, the first Ebola outbreak in Uganda, which was also the largest Ebola outbreak recorded to date (26 April 2013), was initially reported by WHO on 16 Oct 2000."
That was 428 cases, and over in 6 months. The current outbreak is past 13k cases and still going strong.

What I have been doing
Jun. 29th, 2013 06:50 pm1) Epidemiology
This is mostly what I have been doing for the past 6 months. Particularly during May, which didn't really have room for anything else in it (goths aside). Exams were last month and were exhausting - apparently I'm not as young as I was 13 years ago. I think I acquitted myself well though. This month involved finishing off lactures and two assignments for the remaining module. I now have one thing remaining, which is the assessed assignment for this module (due end of August, so things can slow down a bit).
2) Brains
Currently suffering from wonky vision in my left eye (and not much else, that's about it for brokenness at the present). Still waiting for a bloody referral. Eye investigation included a trip to the optician last week. Am now persuaded I ought to have glasses, especially if wonkiness doesn't go away. Annoyingly this is not the best week to decide this, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bjh21 and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
stephdiary are both away which greatly impairs frame shopping. Also I have a referral to the eye clinic for a proper hardcore retinal scan, and am wondering whether to start an Addenbrooke's clinic bingo card...
3) Music
As supplied by, variously, Last July, Public Service Broadcasting, Whitby, and Leipzig. I will tell you about my latest obsession but they cannot be contained in a post which already holds so many other things.
4) Making stuff
A bit limited, but I have managed the odd thing or two, and even a book (and a pigeon). I must update my galleries and then post about these...

Internet epidemiology
Nov. 21st, 2012 05:11 pmLSHTM is once again running Flusurvey, a weekly survey over winter which tracks the spread of flu and flu-like diseases. Come and help and provide interesting data! If you sign up you'll be emailed weekly and asked to fill in a short survey recording whether you've been ill in the past week (it's really fast to do if you've been well, only takes a very short time). They're running a prize draw this year; every survey you fill in gets you an entry. (Declaration of interest: if you tell them my username (clareb) when you sign up, I get entered into a prize draw too.)

The first is my degree transcripts, so I can complete my masters' application to the fabulously named London School of Hygeine and Tropical Medicine.
The second is this:
See that weird misshapen red blob? That's my first raspberry, that is. (I ate it. It tasted of raspberry.)
