Congratulations, Anton!

My friend (and the driving force behind all bloggy events in the Triangle area) Anton Zuiker has a new job! And not just any job - but a perfect job:

In August, I will take a new job at Duke University Health System as manager of internal communications. This will be a chance for me to mold a communications strategy that uses traditional tools (magazines, newsletters, posters) with new media tools (blogs, videocasts, wikis). I'm looking forward to the opportunities and challenges.

They really, really need Anton. Finding information online about anything that has to do with Duke University science and medicine has been, to put it very nicely and diplomatically now, frustrating and clunky. They have really tried over the past year to vigorously change that situation, but with very little visible results. Now, with Anton on board, I am confident that Duke Health System will soon become the example of good online communication that other schools will try to emulate in the future.
