It’s been quite a busy and successful year here on The Social Metwork, and my first full calendar year as Editor after taking over in October 2018. We’ve had some great contributions on all sorts of topics, from published research to summer schools, conferences, and PhD tips. I’d like to extend my thanks and praise to everyone who has contributed a post or reviewed a submission this year – thank you for taking the time out from your busy PhD life! To those of you who have since finished your PhD, congratulations and all the best for the future. I’d also like to thank everyone who visited the site from around the world (over 5000 of you) and read our blog posts – you’re the reason we do this! – Simon, Editor.
