It wouldn’t be the end of the year without end-of-year lists. So we thought we’d get a little meta and pick our best of the best-of-the-year lists of science and technology stories from around the web. As with our usual weekly rundown, this list is less about what was most popular, and more about the articles that people found the most memorable, stimulating or thought-provoking over the past 12 months.

So, in no particular order, here’s our pick of the bloggers, magazines and sites who selected their favourite articles in science and tech. We’ll add more links to the list as we see them. If you have any suggestions that you think we’ve missed, let us know in the usual way on Twitter orFacebook, and if we agree we’ll add them to the list.
