Visitor Statistics

Hello! Thank you for visiting!
I have a fascination with seeing what countries people visit from.

I installed a web hit counter (by FlagCounter.com) on October 25, 2009 which shows unique visitors along with their country flag. Since then visitors have come from the 143 countries whose flags are below. The total number of pageviews recently passed 50,000. (Sure, a big corporate site probably gets that in hours, but there is nothing for sale here – just heady science!) Of the people who visit the site, almost half (~45%) are from outside the U.S.A.

It is always great to see hits streaming in from some of the countries where I have collaborators and colleagues, and indeed from ones I have never even visited.

You should see your country’s flag in lower left. Each visitor is counted once, regardless of how many pageviews by that visitor.

If you are unfamiliar with some of these flags or country codes, please see the master list here.
