Blogging: Year 2

Over the next year I intend to evolve the Krasnow Director’s Blog in two
ways: First, I would like to open the blog up significantly, both for
comments, track-back, and for guest bloggers. The hope is that we can keep
things reasonably focused on science and the Institute while at the same
time creating more of a forum for ideas. I’m particularly looking for
input on the long-term future of Krasnow, as this will be the transition
year between my first and second terms as director.

Second, I plan to link more extensively to other content, and hope that my
commenters and guest bloggers will do the same. One of the powers of a
good blog is the inherent ability to reference other material in support
of an argument.

We have actually four new PI’s coming on board over the summer. As I
mentioned, I’ll ask each of them to contribute here. Perhaps that can
serve as a begining to this new phase of the director’s blog.
