E-LIST may appear a bit less frequently in the coming months. The
academic job market is now in full swing and I am also finishing my
dissertation. So in between looking for a job and doing my work I'm left
with less time than usual on other fronts. Do keep sending interesting
links my way! And as always, thanks to those who contributed this time
around!
