A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that my life would be undergoing some major changes. The biggest one, of course, is our impending move to London.

The other big change is a professional one. Via a merger between About Weblogs Network and b5media, my precious Genetics and Public Health Blog will be joining one of the most promising blogging networks online today.

This news probably doesn’t mean much to most of you, but it’s a huge one to those of us involved. We’re moving to our own domains and are looking forward to building up our blogs even faster. In particular, I hope the Genetics and Public Health Blog will reach a wider audience and help spread the news about the genomic revolution.*

Special thanks to Shai Coggins for being a terrific network owner, boss, and friend.

*As an aside, I was excited to see that the Genetics and Public Health Blog made it on to the blogroll of Free Association - the new blog of Nature Genetics, one of the most prestigious science journals in the world.

NB: The Children’s Books, Toys and Things Blog is also part of the About Weblogs Network and will be joining b5media as well.

And, since Shai has already spilled the beans, I’ll be starting two new blogs in 2006 (bringing the number of blogs I write to six): The Stitching Blog and The Cardiovascular Disease Blog. Hope these will appeal to some of you too!

ETA: The merger’s official press release.
