At just over two years old, the MaRS Blog is already topping some “best blogs” lists (see “You’re reading a top 5 biotech blog” and “Top 150 Blogs for Entrepreneurs“).

For those who are just joining the fray and want to know what we’re talking about — and for those who read every day and were just curious! — here’s the list of the most popular blog posts of 2008.

  1. Top stem cell scientist Yamanaka chooses Ontario
  2. Electrons captured on video for first time
  3. Canada, the VC ghost town
  4. 15 greatest Canadian inventions
  5. Top 10 scientific discoveries in 2007
  6. Innovation: Breaking it down
  7. The biggest year in venture capital investing since 2001
  8. From Science City to Entrepreneur City
  9. Biotech-Pharma deals get no respect
  10. How “Sex and the City” can help you succeed

Honorable mentions (with reads very closely approaching the above stories) go to outstanding contributions from Lisa Torjman for “Obama’s social media campaign: Proof by the millions” and Peter Evans’ “Incredible India: Looking beyond a flat world“.

Here’s to another year of insight on innovation and entrepreneurship!
