I'm going to take a break from this blogging thing for a while. The past few months have been sufficiently crazy (blame a new lecture course, some deadlines, and a general malaise) to prevent me keeping abreast of anything worth writing about. I'll continue posting the Monday Mustelid every week, but don't expect much more until ... well, until who knows when.
Who am I?
John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

I don't blame you, John! After a couple of years of prolific posting Blog Burnout sets in for most of us. Then there is Real Life, which keeps impinging on blogging time.
Take a break, but come back! I've certainly enjoyed your posts.

I second that. Great shots of mustelids, I research sea otters btw.

I can understand the other activities one encounters which can take up a lot of time and energy.

My selfish side says "Boooooo!" to a break!
Your blog, John, is informative and interesting. I'll look forward to the Morning Mustelid!

Come back soon. We'll water your plants for you. Except for the big one that sings and calls you Seymour.

I guess something like 50 species belong to the Mustelids. Thus, there's hope that John will be back October next year.
