On February 14 Nature Network turns one year old. I think we should commemorate this day with a collective blogging effort. It would be great if we could each write a blog post relating to that date and post on February 14. There are many interesting topics, starting of course with the fact that it is Valentine’s Day. Wikipedia has some more ideas:

  • Dolly, the first cloned mammal, died on that day in 2003
  • James Cook died on that day in 1779
  • Carl Bernstein, the journalist, was born on that day in 1943
  • Charles Wilson, the physics nobel laureate, was born on that day in 1869
  • Lawrencium, chemical element 103, was discovered on that day in 1961
  • Alexander Graham Bell applied for a patent for the telephone on that day in 1876
  • Christopher Sholes, inventor of the QWERTY keyboard, was born on that day in 1819
