As you may or may not know, I do not have a strong background in statistics. I’m trying to learn more, and one way I’m trying to do this is by reading general science and statistics blogs.

One of the blogs I found is called the STATS blog. It’s written by the people who run http://www.stats.org. The entries tend to be about current events, and how statistics relate to these events. I think it’s fascinating reading.

I also thought you might be interested in the National Science Board’s Science & Engineering Indicators. These indicators are described as providing “a broad base of quantitative information on the U.S. and international science and engineering enterprise.” (I think I read about these on Science Magazine’s This Week in Science RSS feed.)

If you read any stats blogs or news sites regularly, I’d love to hear about them.

That’s all I have for you now! I’ve received a few e-mails about book requests and other things recently, so I’ll be posting about those in a few days.
