The Year & Decade In Nature & Science

As we close out 2009 and march into a new year (and decade!), it's always fun to look back to where we've been. Here are some links to retrospectives on the year and decade in nature & science:

• From the Discovery Channel, the Top Ten Discoveries of the Decade  in slide show format and Top Ten Animal News Videos of 2009, including a report on the discovery that apes "giggle" like humans.
• From the National Wildlife Federation, The Top Ten Wildlife Stories of 2010.
• From Scientific American, the Top Science Stories of 2009.
• From Animal Planet, the Best Animal Moments of 2009 (aka most watched creature features.)
• And, our friends at NASA tout the discovery of water on the moon in their NASA Year In Review slide show.

For our part, Lake Erie Nature & Science Center winds up the year truly grateful for all the wonderful supporters, volunteers, members, donors, class participants and visitors who fueled our non-profit mission through a tough economy in 2009. We're excited about what 2010 holds for our 60-year-old organization! Happy New Year!
