Southern Fried Science is taking its annual December Blogcation. A few pre-scheduled posts will leak through over the next week, but we’ll resume regular service in January.

In the meantime, please check the Best of SFS page for our favorite posts from the last 4 years.

Feel free to use this comment thread to wish the Frientariate happy holidays, tell Andrew that Frientariate is a terrible term for our readers and commenters, or discuss whatever you like with the rest of the readership.
