We're closing on 24 years of PF! This is my favorite time of the year on PF. We get to honor some of our impactful members with member awards. Let's always share the love and smash that LIKE button on posts you enjoy.

It was another great year for PF Insights. This year, the insight authors published 14 Insights! Thanks to all the authors! DM me if you are interested in contributing in 2025.

The rock I continually rest on is that we're making a real difference in real people's lives. Every year, we get returning members who graduated, are well into their careers, or are working on their PhD, and tell us how important PF was/is to them. That is what this is all about. Our reach expands well beyond official membership. PF's entire catalog of threads receives millions of views every year, and your hard work remains for years to benefit others. We're a knowledge base!

As always a massive special thanks to the entire staff and mentor group who tirelessly handle thousands of reports over the year, converse personally with members to resolve problems, moderate threads for quality, and construct policies to ensure our community stays strong. Their dedication is a key difference between PF and other low-quality science communities. Thanks to all who report threads that we should take a look at it. We can't be everywhere so it helps a lot.

Heading into 2025 let's continue to be kind to others, and ourselves, push for productive debate, and always strive to leave a positive impact where we tread online and offline.

Thanks again all! PF is nothing without the amazing support from you, our members. You make the community!

Feel free to comment and shout out below or start voting in the member polls. If you want to give back to PF, here are some ideas. Don't forget to lend us your anonymous 2024 feedback here. We read every comment and every year implement suggestions.

Thanks, Greg! And thanks to all current, past, and future mentors! PF has been a part of my life for well over a decade now and I don't want to imagine my life without having discovered this place. May everyone's 2025 be full of life, love, and a little bit of sadness just to remind you to enjoy life!

I also would like to express my deep appreciation to the mentors who work tirelessly to keep this place free of crackpots and who show such absolutely AMAZING patience, even with folks who don't listen to you. Although you all do such a great job that it's hard to single out anyone in particular, I have to say, my personal thanks to @PeterDonis and @berkeman. And thanks, of course, to Greg, for having created it in the first place --- I hope you and all the mentors have a wonderful 2025.
