Sue Wootton
Corpus has had another great year, publishing 127 posts on a wide variety of health-related topics by a wide variety of writers. Recently we also passed 100,000 reads of articles on the site since we launched Corpus in May 2016. The total number of articles we’ve published so far is over 350.
Corpus is now taking a lengthy break over summer. Posts on the site will resume on an intermittent basis from March 2019. Due to other commitments and a lack of funding, we will be unable to keep up the pace of publishing three articles a week.
The website will stay online indefinitely so you can dip back into articles you enjoyed or haven’t read yet. Just use the search and category boxes to find something of interest.
Many thanks again to all those who have contributed such thoughtful pieces over the past three years. We can’t sign off without a special thank you to our unsung hero Doug Lilly who has managed the design and technical side of the site since its inception (even though it made him intolerably grumpy at times as he fought off the spammers and hackers).
Here’s a small selection of 2018’s most popular posts to dip back into:
- Clive James: “I am here now” by Sue Wootton (12 March)
- Euthanasia and the common good by Charlotte Paul (2 July)
- “XYZ of Happiness”: C is for Harriet by Mary McCallum (9 July)
- What’s cooking in physiology research: “Towards safer births” by Shalini Kumar (27 August)
- Trivial pursuits? by Sue Wootton (26 November)
- Bird bath in Ward 6C by Elizabeth Brooke-Carr (14 May)
- A car crash in Cambodia by Marnie Walters (26 November)
- Free with his fists: trying to make sense of it by Carolyn McCurdie (19 March)
- My father’s case by Laurence Fearnley (28 May)
- A scoop of chips and a pinch of enlightenment by Annette Rose (12 February)
Finally thank you to all our readers and for the positive feedback that many of you provided which helped sustain our efforts.
Sue Wootton is co-editor of Corpus along with Barbara Brookes.
Thanks Sue and Barbara, I’ve long wondered how you could sustain such a labour of love. Always stimulating and thoughtful. Have a good rest and I look forward to the odd post in 2019.
Kia ira Sue and thanks to everyone for all your hard work, hope you all have a happy happy summer.
Thanks, Sue and Barbara. I’ve learned a great deal!
thanks Sue and Doug, you’ve done a fantastic job, and I hope you have a well-earned rest this Xmas!
Congratulations on another fine year’s work.
I liked especially the pieces on Clive James and on “trivial.”
How well Frances Preston writes!
Thank you so much for all your efforts. Much appreciated.
Hopefully you can be fully reared over the break.
