Nereid stepping down as A&C Mentor

[Nereid]

It's been several weeks now since I have been able to devote adequate time to the role of Astronomy and Cosmology Mentor, and in future I'll likely be able to spend even less time here in PF.

So, with great regret, it is necessary that I step down as A&C Mentor. I will leave as soon as a replacement Mentor is ready to take over.

I am sorry to hear that.

Best wishes on the path ahead.

Will miss you, Nereid. Thanks for all your work in the A&C forums, as well as the great discussions.

Nereid! Don't be a stranger, you've been such an asset to the forum and a good friend to me.

But I know we're getting a super duper new mentor.

 

[Moonbear]

Nereid, we're going to miss you...I hope you'll continue to participate whenever you can. I've always appreciated your contributions here. Among the PF sisterhood, you've been the Mother Superior.

And, yes, I wholeheartedly agree with Evo that we're going to have a fantastic new mentor, and I can't wait until it's all official so we can share that good news.

Err huh moonbear? Is Nereid a woman? I always though she was a he.

And here I was being confused, just read A&C as Academic and Career advice!

I echo MoonB's post. I hope that we will still see you around even if you won't be mentoring. You are a very important part of PF.

Neried,

Thanks so much for all the time you put in. You are an excellent Mentor, and hopefully circumstances will allow you to rejoin us in the future. Let me take this opportunity to offer the first nomination for Nereid's Science Advisor Medal!

Forget it kid, I'm not going anywhere.

In the past I've suggested you are the best communicator at PF, and I should have added that you are the most fair-minded participant in a debate I've run across. I will miss you very much. :!)

 

[Chronos]

Best of luck, Nereid. I think it fair to say that many of us greatly respect and have benefited from your example.

 

[Lisa!]

Forget it kid, I'm not going anywhere.

Yeah, I know that's the main problem...

 

[Nereid]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I plan to still be around, just less often than even recently.

I plan to still be around

Woohoo! I'll miss you. I love it when you use your knowledge to guide people by posing a great question. Best wishes for whatever lies ahead.

Thanks for carrying the A&C torch for a while!
