ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Ben Gammon had shared some research about the Science Museum of London maybe five years ago. I don't recall the results precisely, but I remember at the time it was in the low single digits. When I heard about your success with the RFID's enabling you to track returns to the website, and heard that the numbers were 14-16%, I thought that this is much higher than I had been hearing anecdotally. I sure went back to check how my jellyfish protein was flourescing!
