It’s channel theme day: Mission statement and feedback time
If it’s the first Thursday of the month you can bet it’s channel theme day here on SciHealth. LivelyWomen is hosting the round up today (just how do you round up bloggers … worse than herding cats, IMHO) … I think I’m in a less than pithy mood today (which I will explain in another post), but let’s have at it with the mission statement.
Mission: Make science fun, interesting, and accessible to to everyone. Answer your questions with respect and real information.
That’s it. I thought it as I wrote it. I’m not a huge fan of missions statements, too much time in corporate America team building sessions (okay, let’s all break into our groups and make our mission and vision statements for why we are playing volleyball today).
The second half of this theme day (btw, we’ve managed to do this for 6 months now. I missed one for probably bad reasons, but it’s pretty darn cool, IMHO … see herding cats) is asking for reader feedback. Funny thing, before I was reminded of the theme for today I was going to do just that … ask what you want to read here.
So that’s the asking part. But I think you might be wondering what the frock has been up with me lately. Posts few and far between, didn’t even obsessively track the space tourist (no matter how cute she was supposed to be) or the work in the ISS. Not even the Nobel prizes (most of which have gone to Americans, btw).
What’s up? I’ve hit a blog rut. Okay that and my SSRI isn’t working as well as it once was (yes, I’m going to make a switch soon). Last time I checked, I’m still human (which is a shame cause I’ve always wanted to be a cyborg or an X-Man … Wolverine, of course) and part of my humanity is the inherent frailty of our beings (yes, I took ethics and philosophy in school) and my frailty has been particularly frail lately. One part has been it’s been really hard to stay focused and post on the five blogs I’m supposed to post on. The other stuff … well let’s just say it hasn’t been a fun summer and fall.
Okay, enough kvetching. Time to post this sucker … just wait to the next post today …
