Tabitha M. Powledge returns from the holidays with a roundup of the year's "best of" science stories, plus some "worst of" lists for good measure. Included are several contributions from the Knight Science Journalism Tracker writers, and two lists of the year's best science-related images from Wired's Betsy Mason. Also, a new New Yorker story that is "a case study in how to place an enormous amount of scientific information before a largely non-technical audience."
