    How does one remain engaged in science after leaving traditional research behind? Science and technology, like scientists themselves, are increasingly leaving the laboratory. Me? I'm in Ghana as an Environment volunteer with the U.S. Peace Corps. You?

      Well, I’ve enjoyed this foray into science blogging. It’s been a learning experience, and something that I hope to return to in the future. In a couple weeks I’m leaving to work in rural West Africa with the Peace Corps and, given the likelihood of extremely scarce internet access, I’m going to set this blog aside for a while and focus on correspondence with friends and family. Good luck in all your endeavors.

          That’s too bad! It would have been interesting to hear about your experiences with the Peace Corps. Do check in when you get the chance.

          Good luck to you! It’s been a pleasure reading your writings.
