Last September, I started posting my reflections on the weirdness of academia – amongst other things – every Friday, under the title Lost in the Maize. In part this was to document the shift from being a pseudo-academic to a real one. But it was also to provide some motivation to keep on blogging when things threatened to drown the practice out.
Well, four months on, I’ve reached a point where I no longer feel the need to continue the series. And the reason? The rather disturbing realization that the solution to the maze is the rather Zen-like revelation that there is no solution – being lost in the maze (or maize if we’re talking Michigan) is the natural state of being in academia!
Actually, the truth is that other things are demanding too much of my time – including the just-launched Risk Science Center blog. And I’m not sure how many people were really interested in these musings anyway. But they served a purpose.
So this is the last Lost in the Maize. The regular posts will continue as normal – so please do keep on checking in.
Which just leaves me with one niggling concern – will anyone notice?

How could we notice if we too are lost in the maize?
