📝Farewell to a core team member

Sad news today everyone… After nearly three years with the New Atlas team, today’s our last day with Paul McClure.

Readers will probably know Paul best from his work in the health and medicine areas, which is where most of the 1,200-odd articles he’s contributed are focused, but the Melbourne team that worked closely with him will miss his caring, compassionate nature, his sense of humor and his sense of advocacy for those less fortunate.

Indeed, he’s moving on to a role in the disability advocacy and support sector that’ll make excellent use of at least two of those. It’s the next step in a remarkable career – how many people have the life experience of a criminal lawyer, a science writer and an emergency room nurse rolled into one?

We’re sad to lose him from the New Atlas team, and we’re going to have to hustle to figure out how to get sausage dogs back into morning meetings with any kind of regularity, but of course we wish Paul the best as he writes the next chapter in a remarkable story.

Speaking of remarkable stories, we took some time this morning to put together a list of Paul’s favorite pieces from over the years, the highlights of his career with us, which we’ll leave as the featured list on his author page. Enjoy!

If you’ve got any messages you’d like us to pass on, or feedback on stories that really left an impression on you, I’m sure he’d love to read them! Reply to this email and we’ll send them along.
