i'm sure all of my faithful blog readers have been upset by my absence. i've been out of touch for several weeks, moving back to the US, finding a place to live, and starting to work on my dissertation.
i hope that the blog can now change shape and shift gears, from research aid to dissertation writing aid.
if you have any ideas about what makes a good model for a dissertation or a nonfiction book more generally, please feel free to post those model ideas. right now i'm reading "life exposed" by adriana petryna and "when nature goes public" by cori hayden.
