Dear CSWA blog readers,
A major goal for this blog is for it to be as useful a resource as possible. One way we can improve its impact is by increasing the participation in the 'comments/discussion' section after each post. For example, when I read FemaleScienceProfessor, oftentimes I get as much from the reader comments as I do from the post itself. I would love for our CSWA blog to similarly benefit from all the knowledge and thoughtful ideas of our readers.
One change to the blog we thought might help is to once again allow anonymous posts. We disabled the feature because of the abundance of spam we had to reject, but we've decided to give it a new try. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible sharing your opinions, and so now you have the option to post under your own name or anonymously.
If you have other thoughts on how to increase reader interaction with the blog, please let us know.
If you have other favorite science or women in science blogs that you'd recommend we try to cross-post with (to increase visibility, impact, and readership), please let us know.
Thanks and happy reading!

- Management Restructuring
As mentioned in last week's AASWOMEN, the time has come for me to step down from the CSWA and make room for new blood. I'd say I'm doing it to "spend more time with my family" but that's not really true. (Why this phrase is a euphemism...
