The long exhale

Once again, my blog went defunct!  Let me give a quick explanation:

1.  I changed jobs.  I decided to get out of regulatory work and back into research.  There are a lot of reasons for this, which I would be happy to discuss in person if we ever meet.  The short version is:  I missed research.

2.  I'm now working for the U.S. government.  I'm not totally clear on how this affects my ability to post thoughts/opinions online.  However, I am totally sure that I don't have a lot of time to do that.

3.  And finally, I got stressed out.  Rather than write series of crappy posts, I decided to just watch three seasons of "Heroes" and then play with my kids for two months. 

So what am I going to do with this space now?

I might start posting more paper recaps.  I've read a lot of papers recently, so there's plenty of good material to re-distribute. 

I also will be adding descriptions of my research.  When I took the plunge back into research, I didn't take a permanent position, so I'm job hunting.  I'm going to post detailed explanations of my research ideas here (and permanently link to them) so that people will be able to see what I'm about. 

So expect a few changes in the coming days/weeks.
