A cool experiment from the Mozilla Science Lab: Code Review for Scientists. I look forward to the results.
If anyone wants to do code review of my science, you can comment line-by-line on my github repos.

IHD in GBD-Compare
As I mentioned, disease-specific papers I helped with from the GBD 2010 work are starting to appear, and the GBD-Compare tool tells a story about each one. This one is about heart disease, as described in Forouzanfar et al. Assessing the global burden of ischemic heart disease, part 2: analytic methods and estimates of the global epidemiology of ischemic heart disease in 2010.

Descriptive Epi Paper Pile
A small pile of disease-specific papers I helped with from the GBD 2010 have started to make their way into the world. Each should have a set of links to an appropriately selected spot in the GBD-Compare tool:
- Charlson et al. The epidemiological modelling of dysthymia: Application for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23806588
- Marcenes et al. Global burden of oral conditions in 1990-2010: a systematic analysis. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23720570
- Forouzanfar et al. Assessing the global burden of ischemic heart disease, part 2: analytic methods and estimates of the global epidemiology of ischemic heart disease in 2010. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23505617
It would be great if the systematic review data from these studies was released as well! At least two groups have actually used the HCV replication dataset in their own research now.

Animations and transitions in D3js
Seeing data transition can be amazing, can be distracting. Making it work can be confusing. Here are some hints: http://www.jeromecukier.net/blog/2012/07/16/animations-and-transitions/

Javascript style?
Javascript style guidelines seem less definitive than PEP-8. Is this a good reference: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascriptguide.xml#JavaScript_Style_Rules?

Brushing handler, a recent development (?)
Just in time for inclusion in some lucky students project, a way to do brushing interactions: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1667367

D3js axes are going to be hard to teach
I’m worried about this part, it is going to hurt my students. It is very powerful, though, and doing it from scratch would hurt worse: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/SVG-Axes
Scott Murray’s tutorial goes through the basics at a gentle pace: http://alignedleft.com/tutorials/d3/axes/
