About
Since its founding in 1994, the non-profit, non-partisan Statistical Assessment Service - STATS -has become a much-valued resource on the use and abuse of science and statistics in the media. Our goals are to correct scientific misinformation in the media and in public policy resulting from bad science, politics, or a simple lack of information or knowledge; and to act as a resource for journalists and policy makers on major scientific issues and controversies.
As a mark of our success, STATS’ work has been featured on NBC’s “Nightly News,” “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” and ABC’s “20/20″- and in print by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, US News and World Report, New Scientist, New England Journal of Medicine, and many other publications.
In 2004, we became an affiliate of George Mason University in Virginia.

Hello,
I’ve only just discovered this blog which I am finding very interesting. Just one minor point though, can you please make sure there is a title in the RSS feed for this site. My RSS reader displays a blank title.
I’m not sure how you could go about doing that though as I would have thought wordpress would do that automatically.
Please keep up the good work!
Kevin Pluck.
