We've been keeping our noses close to the grindstone here at the CT CIC, pumping out journal articles, earning awards, taking names. But when your nose is next to the grindstone, your eyes are too, and it can be hard to see how many calendar pages have fallen off since the blog was last updated. To kick off the return to regular updates, here is everything we've published since the last roundup.
