National Geographic covers Darwin150 campaign

DateSaturday, September 12, 2009 at 7:52PM

national geographicNational Geographic just wrote an article about the Darwin150 campaign "Darwin Devotees Make 'Father of Evolution' Facebook Superstar!"

You can see their positive write-up here. Among other things, it really underscores what an incredible volunteer effort the Darwin Facebook Group has become.

Who would've thought a just-for-kicks Facebook campaign to wish Darwin a Happy Birthday would turn into a quarter of a million people within the general public showing support for Darwin and science, and even starting a multi-part lecture series with some of the most prominent scientists in the world?

It was a great achievement. I want to congratulate you. This is one of the main advantages of the social networking website like Facebook. I have seen the report and it was an useful one.
