Thanks John. An excellent resource.
You're welcome.
In terms of "big science" this is a interesting year for new
instruments and new results. The Brits just fired up their new 300M
Pound (I'm talking money) electron synchrotron:

I read about that. Treat news!
The big deal though is later this year, the Large Hadron Collider at
CERN to due to be started up. There are rumors going around that a
couple of the existing labs may have stumbled onto a signal for the
Higgs boson. A major breakthrough if confirmed. May well lead to some
advances in cosmology as well as particle physics:

That one too.
The one that is really interesting to me is the long awaited results
of Gravity Probe B which are supposed to be announced in April:

Yes science marches on! I hope they can save the Hubble telescope, if
for nothing else a backup for the Webb.
