2010 Review of the Year
The Deepwater Horizon went up in flames in the Gulf of Mexico and a US court unexpectedly suspended all federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research. Meanwhile, the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Maryland, unveiled a 'synthetic cell' and reports of arsenic-based life sparked controversy. Nature looks back at a dramatic year in science.

Newsmaker of the year
Jane Lubchenco, head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was thrust into the media spotlight when the Deepwater Horizon rig started gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. A celebrated biologist and conservationist, Lubchenco was responsible for tracking the oil, communicating scientific findings, helping to oversee the cleanup, and protecting consumers and the fishing industry during the biggest environmental crisis in the nation's history. For the central role she played in responding to the spill, Nature has named Lubchenco Newsmaker of the Year.
