Now Intersecting Elsewhere

Chris and Sheril announced today that The Intersection has gone over to the Dark Side moved to Discover's growing collection of high-quality science blogs. They're now available at http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/intersection.

This is not entirely unexpected, but I wish them well in their spiffy new digs. They're the second blog to move from ScienceBlogs to Discover (after Carl Zimmer), and I believe the first of the original 14 blogs to move elsewhere (a couple have shut down, but the rest of us are still here). It's probably too early to really say whether this constitutes a trend or not.

Sit.

Stay.

(this applies to both Emmy and yourself.)

Honestly, I hope it doesn't constitute a trend-- there is more than enough room on the Internet for two science-oriented blogging communities.
