The scientific journal Nature has selected "Nature's Ten," scientists selected who made "key developments in science this year and some of the people who played important parts in these milestones." It includes a list of those the journal thinks are ones to watch in 2023.

Photos are included and Alexandra Witze, a science writer for Nature provides the profiles.

I find such listings important largely because they inform and enlarge my view of the nature and history of the scientific enterprise, the introductions to working scientists and they make me wish I was going to be around when at least some of them will have biographies written about them and their full contributions.
