Scholarly communication has evolved over the centuries as technology has made it easier to promote and discuss ideas. Printing has overtaken hand-written documents; edited journals have overtaken monographs; and international conferences have overtaken national gatherings. These blog posts follow in that same tradition — presenting ideas in a more accessible format, to a larger audience. We hope that these posts inform you of their author’s research findings and invite you to give your thoughts on the posts or the articles that inspired them. Please join with your comments in this forum.
