Meet Joyce Yu, the new Community Manager of the Node
Posted by Joyce Yu, on 20 April 2023
Hello everyone!
I am Joyce Yu, the new Community Manager of the Node. Before joining The Company of Biologists, I was doing science communications at Alzheimer’s Research UK, a charity for dementia research. Prior to that, I did my PhD and a short postdoc in the lab of Jean-Paul Vincent at the Francis Crick Institute, where I studied the role of Wnt signalling in growth and planar cell polarity of fruit flies.
During my PhD, I found the Node to be a useful resource and I enjoyed reading a wide variety of posts on the Node. Fast forward several years, I am now very excited to be joining the Node and contributing to this invaluable community that I once benefited from immensely.
Helen and the previous Community Managers have done an amazing job producing content and engaging with the developmental and stem cell research community. I hope to build on their work and continue working on existing features, while testing out some new ideas and initiatives.
I would like to remind you that once you are registered with the Node, you can immediately start posting on the site. Anyone is welcome to share blog posts, job adverts, and events notice within the community. If you have any ideas or questions about the Node, don’t hesitate to get in touch at thenode@biologists.com or drop me an email.
I look forward to getting to know all of you here at the Node!
