Our loss could be your gain. Our wonderful Associate Editor Korey Haynes has given her notice at
Astronomy magazine, as her better half (husband) has accepted a job in the Twin Cities. So we regretfully will let her go, and will lose Korey as a staff member in mid July. (She will continue as an active contributor to the magazine, though — so you will continue to see her byline.)
This means the magazine is seeking an associate editor right away. Please see the press release below, and go to the following link if you are interested in applying.
