Apologies for being so quiet here lately. I’ve been doing some travelling and then been wrapped up in meetings with our team to do some serious strategizing about the future of Nature Network (hint: lots of exciting new changes to come!)

I was in NYC last week giving a talk about online networking at Columbia. I mentioned that we would be launching new local hubs later this year and that inspired the creation of the NYC group, currently the fastest growing group. The admins of that group have taken the next step and organized a happy hour/meetup next week for local scientists. If you’re in NYC, please go! If you have friends in NYC, let them know about the event.

It also just so happens that the second fastest growing group on NN is the Berlin group, which coincidentally, is also organizing a Nature Network meetup next week too! So if you’re in Berlin, please go! If you know people there, let them know about it.

We at NN are really excited to see all this local activity associated and mediated by Nature Network and hope to see more.

Speaking of local events, I have been remiss in organizing the March pub night in Boston. Time flies and it’s already April. Apologies for that…I promise the next one will happen later this month.
