Website transition complete

http://oyenlab.org/ now redirects to http://oyenlab.wordpress.com/

Content will continue to be added to these pages in coming days and weeks.

Website in Transition

I am transitioning my research website to this address to take advantage of the ease of updating associated with wordpress. This is an effort to keep the site current since it is less burdensome than editing and re-uploading the html directly. Watch this space!
