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'.

The MASAUM plague of spammers - academic journals and conferences

For the benefit of anyone else spammed by this MASAUM plague I'm trying to increase information about their spammery on Google.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Do not give them money.

The ones below were perfectly well formatted when they arrived in my inbox but the act of copying and pasting seems to have made them into a bit of a mess, and I'm afraid I can't be bothered to fix them! The text should help anyone searching on Google for phrases found within them though, so should be OK.

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).
