A year ago today, Phenomena was launched, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for reading the work of Virginia Hughes, Brian Switek, Ed Yong, and myself over these past 365 days. The Loom has seen a lot of homes in its ten years, but Phenomena has been the best, I must say, from its delightful design to the support of people at National Geographic such as Jamie Shreeve and Brian Howard.
In case you’re curious, here are the ten most-read posts I wrote here over the past year:
The Norovirus: A Study in Puked Perfection
Tongue-Eating Fish Parasites Never Cease to Amaze
When You’re A Naked Mole Rat, Why Stop At One Weapon Against Aging?
The Weird Youth of the Animal Kingdom (Slide Show)
Charlemagne’s DNA and Our Universal Royalty
The Brain-Chilling, Shrimp-Caressing, Lamppost-Sized, NSFW Organ Hiding In A Whale’s Mouth
An Open Letter to Science Students and Science Teachers
The Guinea Worm: A Fond Obituary
On to another year of cavities, noroviruses, Charlemagne, and other strange wonders!
