2009 Science Year in Review

It's that time again -- as the year slips away, it's time for a look back at the biggest science stories this year -- and some you may have missed. Join us in this hour of Science Friday for a roundtable with science writers and editors about everything from the swine flu vaccine to the rebirth of the Large Hadron Collider. What are your picks for the year's top science stories, and what stories do you think were overblown?

Produced by Christopher Intagliata, Associate Senior Producer
