Kristina and the Argonauts

We here at Powered by Osteons - and by we, I mean me - are pleased to make an announcement.  Starting in August, I will be an assistant professor in the Division of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of West Florida.  I am really excited about this new position - not least of all because it makes me an Argonaut, the school's mascot.  Seriously, just look at this guy!

The next few weeks will be a major transition for me both professionally and personally, as I gear up to move my family from Chapel Hill to Pensacola.  But I hope to be here blogging as much as I can about the latest news in bioarchaeology, the classes I get to teach, and my research.

If my sporadic blogging isn't enough for my dear readers, note that you can get quick updates and links to news stories I find interesting by following me on Twitter, by liking the Powered by Osteons page on Facebook, or by joining the BioAnthropology News group on Facebook.

Just wanted to close with a quick note of appreciation - as my blogging has evolved over the past five years, I've gained a significant readership and have delighted in the comments and conversations we've had as a result.  I have some neat posts planned for the fall semester, so stay tuned, and thanks for reading!

(And if any of you readers are UWF or Pensacola folk, please de-lurk to say hi and give me suggestions for places to eat and fun, family-friendly things to do!)
