Ah statistics! I guessing Jessie is the real No. 1 pageview champ, considering her article only went up Dec. 22, less than 3 weeks ago.
Yes, and the hot topic that drew all that traffic (evidence that engagement matters) shows how eagerly people await that evidence. This is the mission of this society and its journal.
(In case anyone out there wonders, we’re more than eager to have more helping hands. Speak up! Volunteer! Help the cause.)
