Handprints on the Wall - 1st Blogiversary!

Woooo! ?One year of science-art!

It?s the Scientific American Blog Network?s 1st blogiversary, and it?s time to celebrate.

Happy 1st Blogiversary to all #SciAmBlogs! And to us. We're totally eatin' that cherry cheesecake right there.

Here?s a bit of what we were up to this past year:

  • 106 posts, average 8.83 posts a month
  • Featured 143 different artists (+/-), with links in our Scumble and Buzz posts to dozens more
  • Artwork by members of 4 different species
  • 280+ comments on the blog, a lot of conversation on Facebook, Twitter and G+.
  • Helped prompt major change in Pinterest?s Terms of Service through copyright discussion
  • Exposed the Incredible Hulk
  • Generally partied like rockstars with other science-art rockstars (?please sort out only the raw umber M&M?s, I loathe the burnt sienna ones??)

Expect to see a post in coming days indexing everything we?ve posted so far!

But that?s not all.

Put your handprint on the cave wall! Or um, comment instead!

We want to hear from you! ?Time to put your handprint on the Symbiartic cave wall!
