The Editorial ‘Fishy limits’ (Nature 528, 435; 2015) wrongly implied that the European Commission had set the fishing quotas. They were set by the Council of Ministers. The News story ‘Feuding physicists turn to philosophy’ (Nature 528, 446–447; 2015) gave the wrong affiliation for Sabine Hossenfelder; she is now at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies. The News Feature ‘How to make the most of carbon dioxide’ (Nature 526, 628–630; 2015) said that Carbon Recycling International produces 1.5% of global methanol; in fact, it makes 0.005%. The News Feature ‘Space. Time. Entanglement.’ (Nature 527, 290–293; 2015) wrongly said that Leonard Susskind began to think about computational complexity ten years ago — his work in the area began around three years ago. The News Feature ‘The truth about fetal tissue research’ (Nature 528, 178–181; 2015) incorrectly stated that around 5.8 billion people have received vaccines made with the WI-38 and MRC-5 cell lines. In fact, companies have shipped some 5.8 billion vaccines made with these two cell lines. And a printing error meant that an earlier version of the News article ‘What to look out for in 2016’ (Nature 529, 14–15; 2016) appeared that did not account for the fact that NASA has cancelled the 2016 launch of the Mars InSight probe.
