Continuing education course: Statistics for the Statistically Challenged presented by Dr Ann McKibbon, Associate Professor, Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Health Information Research Unit, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.The goal of the course - to show what we already know about statistics in our daily workplace; to present statistics in healthcare papers in such a way that are understandable; and to remove the stigma of statistics. This might look boring but in fact it was a whole lot of fun, stimulating and understandable. What's even more exciting is that she's coming to Brisbane to attend the informatics conference. She's indicated that she'd be willing to run the course in Brisbane. Are you interested? Please blog! We need to know! We'll organise it. You'd need to come to Brisbane as she's only here for a short time.

Sounds really great - I'm not sure if I can get to Brissie (much as I'd like to!), but any chance you could either webcast it and / or do a video podcast for those of us in other climes? This could be an invaluable resource for lots of librarians.
