Slice of History - Oh, deer!

June 1, 2021
Black and white photo of deer on lab with a tree

One major piece of JPL that we’ve all been missing during this work from home period is our friendly JPL deer! Though they stop traffic in the parking lot and run across the streets on Lab, the appearance of the deer happily signifies to the Lab that it’s finally springtime.

The deer have been inhabiting the Lab throughout its history, the above photo being taken 9 January 1958. Conversely, 63 years later, we’re still enamored by the deer. This drawing was done 21 January 2021 by Data Visualization Developer, Vaishnavi Yathirajam (398I), another of our fellow JPLers missing this time of year on Lab. CL#21-0724
