Year One
This month PacSciLife Blog celebrates its first anniversary. Yes! Twelve months have passed since Pacific Science Center’s Life Sciences department published its first web blog. In one year there have been over 130 posts, thousands of words, a plethora of comments (thank you), and tons of pixels in the form of photographs.
Around the department we have been remembering our favorite posts: “Lydia Shedding,” “Jeff’s Cooties,” and “Hisser Mites.”
Some articles have helped us take a closer look at our practices (“The Tale of Two Queens”) while other articles have helped us publicize services to our community (“Stick Bug Amnesty").
We report exciting events (“Darwin’s Orchid”) as well as the routine (“The Big Clean”). Our goal is to allow our readers to examine with us the not-so-everyday activities of animal and horticulture care at Pacific Science Center.
Let us know what articles and subjects you’ve enjoyed from the past year and what you’d like to see in the future. Life Sciences staff sincerely appreciates you, our loyal readers. Thank you for your feedback and encouragement. But stay tuned. We’re just getting started!
Thank you, Terry, for deciding this had to happen and then doing it. Having the blog has increased my enjoyment of my job, as I have more chances to share the behind the scenes details with others.
ReplyDeleteI would like a follow up on those cockroaches you cleaned all the mites off of. How are they doing?
ReplyDeletePacSciLife is really a team effort. One unsung team-member is PSC Webmaster Stan Orchard. I could never have figured out this blogging stuff without his help and continued support.
