For some reason permalinks to blog posts on the wordpress layout we use do not carry over the author's name (although it does show up on the main blog page as well as if you use google reader or a similar aggregator). This post was written by Chris Van Buren, and Research Assistant on the project. Tim Hwang, another RA, as well as I&D fellow Corinna di Gennaro also currently write on the blog. And I try to write as often as possible too (but not nearly as much as I would like)! We'll try to make a technical fix to solve the problem or to just manually add a by line. Thanks, Bruce Etling Michael,
