Big Changes for 2009

Things have been awfully quiet around here for the past few months. I was gone most of the summer, and had an unbelievably intense fall semester. I was forced to put blogging on the back-burner for a while, and have had tons of guilt over the fact that the past few months have had little more than occasional check-in posts with promises for more activity in the ill-defined future. BUT I did indeed survive the semester, and I am just now catching up on all my sleep, (three weeks into the holiday break!). So, back into blogging, full steam ahead!

In several of my most recent posts I have hinted that I had a big announcement coming up, and I thought that revealing the news would be a good way to start off 2009: I will be moving my science news/research reporting to a new blog over on the Nature Network, Endless Forms. You can read the inaugural post here, let me know what you think!

I am not abandoning Pondering Pikaia, though! Like I mentioned in my NN post, I plan to keep this blog going for commentary on grad school, research, and other issues relating to life as a developing scientist. The more subjective stuff will be here, the more objective reporting will be over at Endless Forms.

So, things will be different around here in 2009 (and beyond), I'm pretty excited, I hope my PP readers will come over to visit me at Endless Forms*!


*I am still iffy on the new name, ...read the first post on that blog for it to be explained, does anyone especially hate/love it, or have suggestions for a better one?
