Second Life Goes On
One year into this pandemic, it\u2019s been a struggle to feel a connection with other people digitally. That\u2019s why I was inspired to hear an episode from the show Science Friday about a community that refused to disband their virtual world. As reporter Daniel Peterschmidt explains to me, the staff of Science Friday had set up a virtual outpost in Second Life when it was a trendy thing to do in the mid-2000s. The show eventually left Second Life, but Daniel recently discovered their community of hardcore fans stuck together long after many people abandoned Second Life, and the group went through not-so virtual turmoil along the way.\xa0\nToday's episode is brought to you by SerialBox and BetterHelp.
