Not the Bottom Inspectors

If you work anywhere near a research lab you'll know that the scariest couple of days of the year are when the GLPMA inspectors come round. They basically pick a few things that your lab has done over the past year and go through it like with a fine-toothed comb. The objective is to ensure that British labs stay at the forefront of world research in terms of quality, clarity and ethics.

For any lab this is a scary time because they have the power to shut you down, and they have been known to use that power in the past.

This is my 8th experience of an annual inspection but so far they haven't been too bothered what the statisticians get up to. Until today.

They have been taking a close look at my work today and although I'm confident that there's nothing seriously wrong, there's always something they can find. So I'm a bit anxious as to what they will say.
