A lot of us can be identified with some judicious googling but in general, there is an unspoken mutual respect in the science blogging community with regard to non-blog identities but others may not afford the same level of respect. If maintaining pseudonymity/anonymity is important to you, it's just something to keep in mind.Professor in Traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903558307394806532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793086675277097176.post-71703809541168569812009-01-21T13:08:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:08:00.000-05:00I plan on keeping it general and avoiding my parti...I plan on keeping it general and avoiding my particular sub-sub-field, but yes. At the same time, a motivated individual could probably get pretty close from what I have already written, so fuck it.
