Hi all !

It's been quite a ot of e-mails concerning this conference and episode on
blogging phd students... Since i am actually (a french speaking) one them, I
would be very pleased to catch a pdf version of the article... I could may
be have a new source to argue about the positive efect of academic
blogging...

Would it be possible ? My e-mail is:  jeremy.depauw at gmail.com
