My favorite plant scientist, Andy Funk, has just joined the Plant//People blog team! We've also moved to a new domain, plantpeopleblog.com. I [Anna] will keep posting about plants (and more) in the natural world, and academic life as an ecologist. Andy will broaden our ponderings with his perspectives on plant genetics, crops, and the more lab-based side of plant academia.

We'll label our posts with [Anna writes...] or [Andy writes...] so you know who's talking. We may even have more guest contributors in the future! Stay tuned, exciting times are ahead!
