Good science we bring to you and your kin,

‘Twas the night before Twismas, when all through the house
Not a study was stirring, not even on a mouse;
The stories were linked on the website with care,
In hopes that the science soon would be there;
The patreons were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of Kiki whispered “it’s all in your heads;
And Blair in her corner, and I in my rant,
Had just settled our brains for a tight 90 bant,
When out on the web there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my couch to see what was the matter.
Away to the laptop I ran like the flash,
Tore open the rundown and threw open some tabs.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a podcast reminder… a new show was near,
That lovely old podcast, I never do miss,
I knew in that moment it was time for more
This Week in Science!
