Welcome to the D.O.D. Blog!

Hi friends,
The D.O.D. mailing list is now a blog, something that's long overdue. While it eliminates those convenient e-mails to your in box, this allows opportunities and info to stay accessible for longer. I'm still shaking this out so more functionality (and a less template design) will be added, especially, I hope, a CSS link. I'll still be posting employment and internship opportunities, events, lectures, workshops, etc. And many of the features of my academic website, like links, we move here. Please feel free to send comments and suggestions!
