A big thank you to all our readers, contributors and ideas-people at the end of another long year. The blog is read in so many different countries, and we are deeply humbled that so many seem to like our eclectic mix of science, economics and diverse other topics which so many of you have been kind to suggest.
So a Happy Christmas and New Year to all of you, of any faith or none. Please eat and drink responsibly and we look forward to serving as a clearing-house of your ideas next year
