This is my list for 2007...

Best research experience...

our brilliant study on twins, their birth weights and later risk of type-2 diabetes

Worst research experience...

four rejections of the manuscript of the brilliant study above... (NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, Diabetes...)

Best neonatal gossip...

how the family Zlatan Ibrahimovic escaped the paparazzi photographers from the maternity ward... (well, this is from 2006, but I heard the story just recently)

Most fascinating journey...

Turkey, no doubt!

Best gastronomic surprise...

Dennis pizzeria in Turku (awarded "Best pizzeria in Finland")

Best cultural event...

(Dweezil) Zappa plays (Frank) Zappa: not a usual within-family show-biz event, but a fantastic consert!

Most overrated family life happening...

the introduction of Cable TV in our house

Best sport event...

the Wimbledon thriller/final: Federer-Nadal

(on TV...)
