Results included media mentions in New York Magazine, ABC7 Los Angeles, KFWB News Talk Radio 980, and many local news outlets. The dedication ceremony drew participation from Bill Nye, the Science Guy, as master of ceremonies, special recognition from California State Senator Carol Liu, and a congratulatory message from actor Ed Begley, Jr.
