For Christmas I got Ben Goldacre's Bad Science, which should help me identify good and bad papers, and steer me towards effective research techniques. The chapter on placebo may have implications for my work, especially if I choose the Risk topic; involvement in assessing risk may affect the outcome, which we all know to be true, but could there be a deeper effect at work here? Could it be utilised?
Also Richard Dawkins' anthology of science writing should help me with style.
