\"\"<\/a>It is time for an announcement. Well, two actually. Or maybe three.<\/p>

What can I say: I’m a liberal. I have an unfortunate and ill-advised tendency to data dump.<\/p>

So…for the past year, I’ve been working on a book that I’ve remained mum about, though you have definitely seen me blogging and doing articles<\/a> on related themes (and publishing guest posts on them<\/a>)–because one can hardly help oneself. And those of you that enjoyed my first book, The Republican War on Science<\/em>, will be pretty interested, I think, in the new one. Especially as the campaign heats up.<\/p>

Now, the deadline is approaching, even as my travel threatens to pick up again–and I find that I could use some research assistance.<\/p>

In particular, I’m looking for someone willing to help me collect a set of easily available data together into a “study” format where these data can be analyzed—nothing very painful or intensive, but still a little laborious. (But oh, what we shall find! Uh, I think.)<\/p>

Preferably, this will be someone with statistics training or a social science background. But it doesn’t have to be. Just someone organized would do.<\/p>

Aspiring helpful folks can email me<\/a> or contact me on Twitter<\/a> or Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>

…yeah.<\/p>

Second, and also kind of important: The blog known as “The Intersection” has been through many changes and iterations over its nearly 10 year existence. And now it is time for another.<\/p>

We’ve been showing sustained traffic highs here over the past several months, with the help of some great guest bloggers (Jon, Jamie, and occasional others). But Discover & I are nonetheless parting ways.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>“The Intersection” is instead relocating to become the central blog of Science Progress<\/a>, the science policy website of the Center for American Progress.<\/p>

My intention is certainly to continue to have lots of guest bloggers over there, in addition to myself. So contact me if you want to get involved (links above).<\/p>

The move will take effect, if all goes swimmingly, on September 12\/13. Old posts will remain here, and a permanent redirect update post will be put up. There is no URL yet for the new blog, so stand by on that.<\/p>

I will also continue my twice weekly climate science posts at DeSmogBlog<\/a>. And hosting Point of Inquiry<\/a> once every two weeks, on Monday.<\/p>

Okay, that’s a lot….but I hope you will all continue to tune in for the new book and new blog!<\/p>
