As well as our top 10 news articles of 2022, special mention should go to our new "Services" page which has been really well received and which we've received a lot of good feedback on. Also our most popular event in terms of page views was "Applications of Mathematica in Science, Mathematics and Engineering" which we held on the 26th May. Keep an eye out for more training from Wolfram Research and others in the New Year!
