New Opportunities across the Blogosphere

Dear readers,

Some of you may be wondering what's going on at Dean's Corner. I begin a new position at my University tomorrow, August 15, serving as the Acting Vice President of Academic Affairs. {You can read the announcement here.}

I am planning to retool the focus of this blog to reflect my broadened responsibilities as an academic administrator at a University, overseeing all of our academic programs. I will continue to post science stories that might interest you, on an ad hoc basis, to the extent that I can, including articles at my blog at The Huffington Post. I do hope that you will continue to visit Dean's Corner in this new Chapter and I invite your suggestions and input. Thank you very much.
