Research Links

This is a collection of useful links that I have built up over the years while pretending to be working on my research. Please email me to let me know if any of these are broken or if you would like another link to be added here 

I have tried to categorize them as best as I can but then... well you decide

Click on one of the category titles here to be taken directly to the links in that category or keep scrolling to browse all links
