Anne Minard

Anne Minard


Congrats to our very own Anne Minard who has been named one of five Ted Scripps Fellows in Environmental Journalism! Anne will be moving to Colorado to attend a nine-month academic program for professional journalists at the University of Colorado – Boulder. The Fellowship immerses journalists in classes and research about environmental issues to help them gain a better understanding of this topic, allowing them to cover the environment more effectively and enrich the public's knowledge of this crucial subject. Anne will undoubtedly be busy with this new endeavor, but she hopes to keep her toe in the water here at Universe Today and share what she is learning. Congratulations Anne!

Australian Fires - Bert Candusio

As Nancy reported on February 8th, the wild fires in Australia were not only serious, but out-of-control. While we had a look at satellite imagery, there's nothing scarier than having it hit close to home and friends… Our friends at Southern Galactic. (...)

Tammy Plotner, of course, has been working with me for years, and so have Nancy Atkinson and Mark Mortimer. Ian O'Neill and Nick Wethington are newer contributors, but have definitely proven to be great additions to the team. Thanks to them, I've been able to tail back my writing a little to be able to catch up on the world's longest to-do list.

One huge piece of news, though. As of yesterday, Nancy is now working full time for Universe Today, and will be able to contribute many more stories over the coming weeks and months (dare I say… decades?). Nancy is going to be joining the Astronomy Cast Live team at the upcoming 212th American Astronomical Society meeting in St. Louis from June 1-June 5, 2008, where we'll try to provide an absurd amount of coverage.

I hope you've all noticed and appreciated the jump in quality and coverage from Universe Today, and I'm hoping things will just get better from here.

I've changed my publishing system to a program called Wordpress. It's a huge timesaver, but I'm still working to make it match all the features of the old design. It's going to be a few more days before I've got the images showing up. After I get that working, I'm going to bring my entire archive over, so that will be accessible again.
