From the Node to FocalPlane – a farewell

Posted by , on 2 February 2023

Dear all,

Yesterday was my last official day as the Community Manager of the Node, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the Node community for being so welcoming over the last 18 months. I’ll still be moonlighting on the Node, alongside preLights Community Manager Reinier Prosée, until we have the new Community Manager in place. If you have any questions, comments and feedback, you can still contact us at thenode@biologists.com. It’s lucky that I get to hang around for a while longer, as we have been working on a couple of new projects that we hope to share with you in the next month. Watch this space!

One of the projects that we are working on is a collaboration between the Node and FocalPlane. FocalPlane will be my new home as I have moved across to join the Journal of Cell Science team as FocalPlane Community Manager. If you use microscopy as part of your work, or would like to get started, I recommend checking out our website! Like the Node, FocalPlane is driven by the community, so if you have any feedback, suggestions or comments please get in touch at focalplane@biologists.com or helen.zenner@biologists.com. If you would like to contribute to the site with a blog post, event listing, or job advert, you can register and request permission to write, and once approved you’ll be ready to go.

Thanks again for all the fun times on the Node. I’ve had the opportunity to interact with some amazing people, not least the wonderful team at Development – Alex, who puts up with all my ‘stupid’ questions (not sure this is going to stop), Seema, who helped me so much when I started, and Katherine, who is the most excellent manager! I’m now excited to try and bring some of ‘the Node spirit’ to FocalPlane and hope to see you there.

Best wishes, Helen
