Mentor Changes Dec #2: Farewell Ryan, Welcome Bhobba!

[Greg Bernhardt]

Today we have more mentor changes to announce. First off, mentor @Ryan_m_b is retiring. Ryan has been crushing his PhD research and needs every minute can spare. Ryan will still stop in when he finds a rare extra minute and we hope once his PhD is complete he will return to us. Ryan was essential in maintaining and developing the Other Science forums and also was integral to many of our current policies. We wish Ryan the very best of luck and a speedy return!

To help fill Ryan's void but in a different capacity we welcome @bhobba to the mentor group. @bhobba is no mystery to anyone here. He's about as friendly and knowledgeable as you can get and we are super lucky to add him to the team. PF will prosper with his efforts and a holiday gift to the community!

Oh wow. Welcome @bhobba and congratulations. I'm still a rookie at this mentoring stuff myself, so you and I can be contemporaries. There's a lot to learn, but the others are helpful and patient.

Indeed. I learn a bunch from him when he's learning from @A. Neumaier.

Arnold has always been one of my favorite posters that I have learned an enormous amount from.

Congratulations Bill.
