I’m Doing Science and I’m Still Alive

Hey folks –

As you may have noticed, it has been a minute since an NNR post went up. Since it has been a much longer break that I would have liked, I’m popping my head back up to confirm that I have not abandoned this project.

What has happened, however, are multiple deaths in my family, an extremely frenetic season of daytime lawyering, trying to wrangle a national study on top of that, and an incredible breadth of important news outside of my expertise. I haven’t been able to do the NNR justice, and I would rather take a break than do a half-assed job.

It’s my hope that I’ll be able to come back for realsies when a couple more state legislative sessions end in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, I recommend Matt Kiser’s WTFJHT summaries for day-to-day updates.

Stay safe out there, y’all, and hopefully I’ll see you again in a couple of weeks.
