Very nice, indeed! And I also agree on the clumsiness of the news on budget cut. I hope that this will be the worst thing will see, the sort of a disastrous minimum of budget planning for science and physics in particular. P.S.: I am gladly surprised seeing a reference to my post! I was so surprised to see a mail notification about a pingback pop up on my screen while working. First thing that came to my mind "Wait, I didn't write anything O_o"! But jokes aside. I am glad that some one actually reads what I write -- this means I have a reason to continue.

That is certainly a major story, but what a sad way to end the year (and start the new one). It’s unfortunate that #12, the science budget cuts in the US and UK, makes the list.
