The fantastic year of 2010--and the really hot topic: breast-feeding.

The Editorial Board has had some good additions of hardworking colleagues and among the Deputy Editors we can now find Marilyn Tseng from California Polytechnic State University, USA, who has been with the journal for several years. Three recently added deputies are Dr Allison Hodge from University of Melbourne, Australia; Dr Irja Haapala, University of Eastern Finland; and Prof Geraldine McNeill, University of Aberdeen and the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health. A large number of new Associate Editors have been invited, representing new areas as well as a more total global coverage. At the Nutrition Society, Catherine Jackson, Lalitha Weeks and Julie Hickman are doing a great day-to-day job with the journal. The publications officer Dr David Bender is always a reliable source of guidance and support in journal matters. At Cambridge University Press, Carol Miller, Katy Christomanou, Kathryn Wilson and Rebecca Curtis are doing a lot of good work for the journal; as is Gill Watling, our freelance copyeditor and proof-reader.
