      I posted 15 times in December (this is 16th). That is, on A Blog Around The Clock only (not counting the posts on The Network Central, The SA Incubator, Video of the Week, Image of the Week, or editing Guest Blog and Expeditions).

      A couple of brand new posts:

      The New Meanings of How and Why in Biology?

      The wonderful quail…and what Sen.Coburn should learn about it.

      A couple of updates and announcements about the upcoming ScienceOnline2012 meeting:

      Science + Storytelling + Good (Food & Drink) = The Monti at ScienceOnline2012 Banquet

      Some quick ScienceOnline2012 updates

      Another Q&A with a participant of last year's meeting:

      ScienceOnline2011 – interview with Paul Raeburn

      Several re-posts from the old archives:

      Basics: Biological Clock

      The Clock Metaphor

      Evolutionary Medicine: Does reindeer have a circadian stop-watch instead of a clock?

      What is a ‘natural’ sleep pattern?

      Circadian Rhythms in Human Mating

      Data for #drunksci: Daily rhythm of alcohol tolerance

      Books: ‘The Poisoner’s Handbook’ by Deborah Blum

      Books: ‘Bonobo Handshake’ by Vanessa Woods

      Science Books from my Childhood
