As I’m sure you’re well aware, we’ve lost several notable bloggers here of late. Tideliar, Biochem Belle and Genomic Repairman each did what I think is an excellent job describing the concerns that spurred their move back blogspot or WordPress, and I feel no reason to drudge all of that up again. I hope it suffices to say that I share their dissatisfaction and frustration regarding some executive decisions that have been made here, and I feel I should make it clear that I was a part of initial discussions that culminated in their—and now my--departure.

So why didn’t I join the rest in last week’s exodus, and pull the sheets off the furniture back at blogspot? Well, things were a bit…unsettled with respect to where my future home would be. And rather than announce my departure, only to announce another departure a week or two later, I thought it best to sit tight and do it all at once. I am a single-announcement kind of gal, you see.

And so, on to that announcement. As indicated above, I’ll be leaving LabSpaces. I’m grateful to have been a part of this community, and I value the friendships I’ve made here immensely. I wish Brian the best of luck with the website, and I want my fellow bloggers to know that I love you to pieces, and I will without question continue to follow your adventures for as long as there are the interwebz.

To my readers, I hope you’ll continue to follow my adventures over at my new digs, scientopia.org/blogs/drbecca. See you there!
