Blogging hiatus

Loyal readers! Not unlike many colleagues, I've been almost constantly "online" for many years now. Since receiving my first email address as an undergraduate in ca. 1995, I haven't been "offline" for more than 48 hours or so since. This will change shortly as I'm about to take my first proper break in many years. There may be the odd post over the next few days, but please check back in mid-August. Many a big announcement to make and much more analysis on publications and politics to follow....
