I guess I wasn't kidding when I said E-LIST would be out less frequently
this Fall. I've been extremely busy working on my job talk and starting
campus interviews for an academic position. Things are quite exciting.
I'm also happy to see some results emerging from my data. I'll keep you
posted as I write up the results.

Happy Halloween! (If you have suggestions for a simple yet
funny/imaginative costume, let me know, I need it for a party this
weekend.)
