Did the International Year of the Periodic Table have its expected impact?

As the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT) got underway at the start of this year, our comment pages hosted a debate over whether the planned events would have an impact outside of the chemistry community. One year on, we asked Roger Highfield and Martyn Poliakoff if anything has changed their minds. We invite readers to share their opinions through our letters page by contacting us at chemistryworld@rsc.org
