The News story ‘Japan faces science decline’ (Nature 550, 310–311; 2017) misspelt the name of the head of the Japan Science and Technology Agency. His name is Michinari Hamaguchi. Also, he is based in Tokyo, not in Kawaguchi.

And the News Feature ‘The shape of work to come’ (Nature 550, 316–319; 2017) erroneously located the Human Computation Institute in Fairfax, Virginia. The institute is, in fact, in Ithaca, New York.
