The i2b2 blog has moved

The prior version of this blog sits here. A very nice blog client I used on the Mac was no longer supported. So, I have had to migrate to this standard blogging environment with all the widely available tools. This blog is of very narrow interest. It documents some of the frequent meetings that drives i2b2, a National Center for Biomedical Computing.
