I've spent the past six months being pretty busy, in pubic, what with sorting out our house and then Oscar arriving. However, I've been pretty quiet about my work at Nature, pretty quiet in general, actually. One of the reasons has just become public. Nature Network Boston, a social network or community site aimed at scientists, in the Boston area.
I'm quite excited about the project. I think that more specialist community sites have real strengths, because you can workout the real things that your community wants to do. I've had a lot of fun developing this site, from the wireframes in Omnigraffle to working with LouiseC, LouiseM, Tom, Mat, Matt, Corie, Margaret, Joy and Stephania. Developing in Rails was really productive, too.
A more considered launch announcement is on my team's weblog. We have a range of other products for scientists on Launchpad if you are interested.
