It's time to shut down shop for the Christmas season -- even though we never did get to 23 comments on the recent article about monkeys and evolution.

2015 is nearly at an end. It was another eventful year when much happened (have I mentioned Evolution: The Whole Story?). At the same time, there are an enormous number of things on which no closure was ever achieved... so much frustration. Anyway, much is set to happen in 2016 -- indeed, Tet Zoo is ten years old in January. There's still a Christmas edition of the Tet Zoo podcats left to be released, and much new stuff yet to be released at the Tet Zoo patreon (thanks, as always, to my patrons for their support). Until next time...
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
