Dr Michelle Dickinson aka Nanogirl.
As we say goodbye to 2019 and welcome in 2020, it's a good time to catch up on the very best of the Herald columnists we enjoyed reading over the last 12 months. From politics to sport, from business to entertainment and lifestyle, these are the voices and views our
audience loved the most. Today it's the top five from Michelle Dickinson (aka Nanogirl).
Are ridesharing companies clogging our cities?
Ridesharing companies like Uber and Ola were hailed by many as a solution for reducing traffic in cities - but research has shown the opposite is true.
