Happy New Year!
We’ve looked at our stats for the past year to see which posts were the most popular. At the top of the list were the Woods Hole images and the two essay competition nominees, There’ll be dragons? and An Excitingly Predictable ‘Omic Future.
But there were many other popular posts this past year. The following list includes some of the most-viewed or top-rated posts of 2012. It’s a mixed bag of publishing discussions, research news, career features and pretty images – written by students, post-docs, lab heads, and others. Thanks for another year of great content!
