About this Site

The internet is a rabbit hole where you can go to find information. What you find is not always of the best quality or substantiated by the best evidence. My intent is for this site to be a resource others might find meaningful and can contribute their own quality resources. Feedback is welcome and, in order to keep the content fresh, please advise me of new or updated sites as well as errors or omissions on this site.
