Back in November I wrote about PEAR closing down. Unfortunately, I guess it's time for them to shut down the laboratory now.

Dean Radin has a nice closing statement on some of the things that PEAR accomplished.

Some really sad news today. PEAR, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory, is shutting down. PEAR has done a lot of really great research, illuminated quite a few strange occurrences, and really published some terrific papers. Their research will really be missed in the paranormal/parascience realm.
