Oh, thanks for highlighting it. At first it was just a place for me to keep stuff I needed to monitor--and then I realized others might find it useful as well.

I have a follow-up post on responses to the media as well. ENCODE waves hit the shore…and scientists respond I'll keep updating that as posts come in as well.
