Merry Christmas everyone. I have a little Christmas treat for you. A double Map of Life addition. A TURkey (of course) and a TURtle (because, why not?). #turkey #evolution #infographic

We've made it to the end! Door 24 of the Matilda's Lab advent calendar and the most viewed post of the year. matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! #spiderweb #advent #scicomm

Well said, Bob.

We're getting right to the business end of the advent countdown now. The 3rd most viewed blog post this year may be relevant over a period when children get overexcited. matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… #parenting #scicomm #advent #psychology

Midwinter brings door number 21 of the advent calendar. The 4th most viewed post of the year is about how we can give each other electric shocks. matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… #staticelectricity #scicomm #science #physics

Door 20 of the advent calendar is all about the first person to walk the earth. When is a human not a human? I really enjoyed writing this lesson, so it's great to see it doing so well. matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… #evolution #anthropology #biology #scicomm #admin

Door 19 of the advent calendar reveals the 6th most viewed post this year. Don't worry, your Xmas sprouts aren't about to run off, but there is a question regarding how plants move. matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… #plants #biology #science #scicomm #advent

Only a week left until the big day! Behind door 18 of the calendar, it's the slightly misleading question of "Why don't I have a tail?". Misleading, because you do! matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… #anatomy #scicomm #biology #science

It's been a while since the last update of the map of life. So, let's bulk up the under-represented plant section with the world's biggest flower. The corpse flower, so named as it smells like rotting flesh. #rafflesia #biology #evolution #sciart

It may be a blast from the past, but it was the 8th most viewed post on the blog this year. In door number 17, it's the blue/black vs white/gold dress. matildaslab.wordpress.com/20… #opticalillusion #scicomm #science #vision #advent
