The h2g2 Post 17.01.11

Posted: 17^th January 2011

Back to normal

That's the first two and a half weeks of the year gone already. Funny how quickly time passes if you look back on it. We are off to a great start with two Post writers having earned their Post badges: Vip and Auburn Time Lord. Congratulations!

If you've followed the Post issues you'll have noticed that our h2g2 researchers love to travel. Below, you'll find articles by five authors who report from four continents among them! As always, there is a lot more for your delectation, though. And once again we invite you to take part not only in reading and commenting, but in writing, too: see the 'Hamster' article below. Have fun!
