At present my main home page is at http://www.meD8.info/PeterT/ and some of my published work is available from The Knowledge Network (http://kn.open.ac.uk/public/ then search for Twining). I am in the process of moving stuff here - wanting to experiment with what happens if your CV can be edited by anybody and/or there is an easy way for anyone to add a comment re your work/publications (eg via the discussion page) - scary stuff.

If you have worked with me or know my work then please feel free to go to the discussion page and add a peer-review comment.
