That's great news!

I was once told that the science-related stamps are the worst sellers -
except if they are animals and/or space themes. Buckminster Fuller didn't
sell very well and I believe they had an anthropologist once that didn't do
well either.

I still hope we one day have an evolution or DNA stamp... most other
countries have had them. 2009 is the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birth
and the 150th anniversary of the publication of _Origin of Species_.. it
would be nice if we put out a special stamp then but I highly doubt that
will happen.

So, I guess one of our jobs should be to support science stamps!
