Just about 12 months ago, our office launched this blog as a new initiative with the goal of sharing hot topics in tech transfer, opinion pieces, educational items, events, Emory initiatives, and intern experiences in an effort to promote Emory technologies and working with our office. Given that our industry has been under increasing scrutiny due to economic and political pressures, we viewed telling these stories as an increasingly important component to our overall success and the well-being of our industry. Our initial goal was to post once or twice a month, but we quickly found that there were so many things going on, so many great topics, that we could post weekly. It has been a great problem to have!
We hope that you, our readers, have found our blog valuable as well, and we have appreciated all the kind words, constructive feedback, and sharing on social media. Over the next year we hope to maintain our weekly sharing, bring in more guest blogs/content, expand our range of topics, and punch up the visual appeal of the site. We will keep on sharing, if you keep reading!
Looking back, we have published 45 posts, almost 40% of site traffic is a referral from the office website and social media, and the site has logged about 3,000 page views – many more than we could have hoped to see! Thank you to all of our readers. To recap, here are our top 5 most popular posts from the past year and what a diverse group it is:
