So.

First I would like to apologize to anyone who expected an answer via email or sent me comments that deserved an answer. I don't know if you will ever read this.  I have received a fair share of disheartened comments which lead to me not checking the website's email.

As you can imagine I have received a lot of email...some of it is really interesting.  Enough to devote some time for some big updates.  Expect at least two before the end of the year. If you want to be updated, comment below or drop me an email at [email protected] asking to be notified in the event of an update.

I am also considering advertising on the site--enough to pay for a domain name renewal and possibly better domain hosting with any extra to a charity.  Feel free to comment or email me your thoughts on that.


Also, Katee Sackhoff retweeted this image...wow.  I guess in a weird way I can finally say a celeb tweeted a website I own.  I wish it would have been another website.  But this goes to show that the survey image will continue to circulate...so I better keep this website up.



tl;dr:  I'm sorry for not answering emails. I'm growing some thicker skin to ignore the nasty ones. I will be better at correspondence. Expect two big updates. I would like some opinions on advertising on this site.  

Thanks for reading!

Thank you a million times over.
The response to this website has been very overwhelming. Again, I want to thank everyone who has written in. At one point I was keeping a spreadsheet with who I had responded to, but even that got messy and an unwieldy. But if you wrote in, and you know who you are, thank you.

Posting Stuff
I know many of you sent website links or have asked me to post surveys. I only want to post academically peer reviewed material (at this point).

However,
I believe if I continue to update this blog eventually some personal opinion will fall through. If anything through making this website and searching for answers I found that if anything I was frustrated with the access of academic resources available to someone who is not in academia. Which leads me to say...

eScholarship and UCSF's open access policy!
Therefore, one link I am going to celebrate is eScholarship, started through the University of California. Here you may find many academic articles free for public reading. What is really exciting is that the University of California, San Francisco's academic senate recently voted in favor of allowing all of their research papers to be public and free to access. According to the press release: "The unanimous vote of the faculty senate makes UCSF the largest scientific institution in the nation to adopt an open-access policy and among the first public universities to do so."

I have an email, [email protected].  So far with tests between friends it works. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, try the contact form.

Also, under Contacts the form to contact me is still there, but also with an option if you want to receive updates if I change this site to a blog or hub or ?.
