I'm Eric Christian, the new editor of CosNews. For those who don't know me, I'll give you a little bit of my background. After getting my PhD from Caltech in 1989 (thesis topic: Anomalous Cosmic Rays with the Voyager Cosmic Ray Subsystem), I spent 14 years as a Universities Space Research Association soft money scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. I worked on a large assortment of balloon-borne (ALICE, IMAX, ISOMAX, TIGER, and Nightglow) and space-based (Astromag, ACE/CRIS, ACE/SIS, ACCESS) cosmic ray instruments. Recently I started a IPA (Interagency Personnel Act) position at NASA Headquarters as the Discipline Scientist for Heliospheric Physics. I'm currently Program Scientist for ACE, Ulysses, Voyager, and Wind, and Deputy Program Scientist for Stereo. This position will last a few years.
If you have any comments, criticisms on CosNews, or, more importantly, news items you want to put on CosNews, please just send me email. I'd like to thank Frank Jones for his many years of service as CosNews editor, and for "volunteering" me to take over.
