This year, as the pandemic continued, the lights of labs and classrooms switched back on as scientists and students returned to studying, working and researching in person. Our I Spy blog contributors wrote about a wide range of topics this year, including aging, the physiological effects of grieving, achieving optimal physical performance and how to move on from one type of career in science to another. We’ve discussed pollution, how animals contribute to vaccine safety and why we get thirsty. And we’ve continued to build out our “Spotlight” series, which explains fundamental physiology concepts.
This week we look at your favorite posts from the past year. Here are 2021’s top 10 blog posts:
