Thanks, Aaron and Nathan

Many thanks to Aaron and Nathan, my guest bloggers over the past few weeks-- they did a great job, and if anything probably raised the tone around here. If you've got an academic job opening, and aren't afraid of those blog-reading types, they're both looking for permanent positions... Hint, hint.

They both posted expressing amazement that I manage to find stuff to post daily, and, frankly, after three weeks away, I'm kind of wondering about that myself. I'll get back into the swing soon, I'm sure, but jet lag may keep me dopier than normal for a few days yet. Also, my posting frequency may be reduced for a while yet, for reasons that will be explained later today.

The important thing, though, is to thank them for a job well done. So, well, thanks, guys.

I'm giving up reading blogs for Lent. The proximate cause of this is Bora's latest blame-the-media post, which is just deja vu all over again, because I'm pretty sure this exact conversation has gone on ten times before (the fact that scientists find other scientists compelling speakers does not…
