Ah, grad student life.
As it turns out, getting your Ph.D. can be a really, really taxing experience. You hope to find time to sleep, eat, and shower…and along the way, your science blog can get a little neglected. 
But fear not! Your science blog is not forgotten. It’s simply taking a back seat to the basic necessities of life. You’ll return to your blog with verve and vigor at your soonest opportunity. Which might be next week, after you’ve presented a year’s worth of work at lab meeting.
You must have faith that people won’t hate you/your blog for your little hiatus. And you do have that faith, because your readers are so awesome.
Good luck with your lab meeting next week! We’ll patiently (but still eagerly) await trying more nerdy in the meantime.
So much hate. Soooo much hate… -_-
I also was recently laughing at my personal pledge to write one good post a week. Thus were born my posts with links to other blogs who are updating vigorously.
