After nearly four years as an editor of Nature Network, I am leaving to become the Research Highlights Editor of Nature. I leave the site in very good hands. Matt Brown, who is a former Nature Network editor and currently a Community Leader with Nature Network London, is already filling in for me until my replacement is hired. And Ian Mulvany has just become NN’s product development manager. You can reach them at network@nature.com.
Although I’m looking forward to my new job, I am sad to be leaving NN as I’ve been with the site since its very beginning (2006!). It’s been a pleasure and privilege to have played a role in making Nature Network what it is today and I look forward to seeing it grow and flourish even more.
I’ll continue to be a part of the community here, including posting to this blog (I’ll remain in Nature’s Boston office).
If anyone is interested in applying for my job, please get in touch with Timo Hannay (t.hannay at nature.com). If you wanted to ask me questions about the job, please email me at c.lok at us.nature.com.
(I’m headed out of the country tomorrow on vacation so if I don’t respond right away, you’ll know why.)
See you on NN!
Major sniffs here, Corie.
I shall remember you as I last saw you, in person and glad to learn that you’re not leaving us completely.
Best of luck in the new job!
Thanks guys!
Stephen, if you’ve got a paper coming out, feel free to let me know about it!
Congrats on the new job and best of luck. As the first person I met at NN, you made the experience so friendly and welcoming. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Good luck in the new job! And thanks for inviting me to blog here, and for coming to the first SciBarCamp, and for remotely helping Jen Dodd and me to set up the Toronto pub nights (which we should really do again, I guess…), and for all the general cat herding you’ve had to do on here =)
Thanks for your hard work, general encouragement and help with everything (including of course the fabulous launch of the New York hub)!
I’d do a “say it ain’t so” but the Network’s loss will be Nature’s gain – so let me join the others in wishing you all the best. Thanks for everything (like they all said)
Yeah, but nobody ever really leaves Nature, even when they think they have. It should really be called the Hotel California: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Thanks everyone. It’s been a pleasure and privilege meeting and getting to know you all here.
BUENA SUERTE! (Good luck!) It was great to meet you (in person) in London!.
I wish you the best in your new job…
Thanks for the chance you gave me to start my blog here… and see you around!
You made NN the global destination that it is today. But I overheard somewhere that Nature is a pretty decent journal…
Whassa Nature? Is it related to Nature Network somehow? ;)
Corie – well done you, and congratulations. NN obviously owes you a lot (everything?) and is a tremendous online community/forum/whatever, I imagine largely because of your efforts.
So – does this mean a change of location? A change of office? Do you get shuffled to another cubicle in the Nature Publishing Group Megalopolis? Does it come with a cottage-farm in Cromer? Is RPG going to take over your job?
Just wondering.
Best of luck with the new position!
Thank you for all your support Corie! Good luck!
Hi Corie Lok:
Wishing you the very best.
Thanks for the warm wishes everyone. Richard, I actually get to stay in Boston, in the same NPG office, in the same cubicle. I did get a new laptop though!
So, we still see you here and we see more of you in print in Research Highlights. This doesn’t sound like a bad thing at all. Best wishes for the new work!
