To: nerdsfornature(a)googlegroups.com Hello Nerds! First, big news that some of you already know: On August 1 I'll be crossing the Bay to SF to join fellow Nerd for Nature Beth Schechter at Stamen Design<http://stamen.com>. I'll be their project manager helping them more efficiently and happily do their magic, rockstar stuff. I'm super excited about that! And also sad to be leaving Bay Nature <http://baynature.org> after almost 10 years. But, hey, that means Bay Nature has not one but two job openings (what can I say, my shoes are big!): - A nature-loving, experienced journalist to be the full-time Editorial Director - A nature- and tech-loving nerd to be the part-time Tech and Data Manager Check out the postings here: http://baynature.org/about-us/jobs. That includes everything you need to know, including salary range (which BN likes to publish because, hey, why not be transparent about it?). Share the listings with your friends (the really competent ones), send them to your favorite local nerds and journos. Bring on the applicants!
