Thanks to all of you who responded to our request for New Year's wishes. Your suggestions range from futuristic visions such as photosynthesis in humans and nanocameras that fit inside cells, to serious themes including recognition for scientists in developing countries and freedom from reliance on oil. Together, they provide a fascinating glimpse into what's important to news@nature.com readers all over the world in 2005.

I wish science could become truly global, so that scientists from developing and Third World countries get a chance to contribute to it with the whole of their talents, while the people of these countries get the chance to benefit from all of the remarkable scientific results. Sasa Zelenika University of Rijeka, Croatia

*I wish for a world without boundaries, for a place where education is more important than oil, and where science speaks only one language, regardless of colour, race, age or nationality.
