Scientists' families can face a unique set of challenges over the holidays. ScienceCareers' Adam Ruben takes a lighthearted look:

For their loved ones, dealing with scientists’ “scientific-ness” can create unique challenges at home.Lots of people travel on Thanksgiving, but 10 years ago, I did it in reverse. I stood up from the Thanksgiving table, apologized to my extended family and my then-girlfriend , started the car, and drove an hour and a half south—grumbling the whole time. I had to go. I needed a few drops of mouse blood.

Flippantly saying"do something in the lab for, like, 10 minutes" when you clearly mean"do something in the lab for an indeterminate length of time." "You keep many heavy and unnecessary textbooks from your science classes," read the next text message."We have to lug them from home to home and build bookcases for them, and you never use them."Chemical Principlesthe books—but getting rid of them seems tantamount to admitting that I wasted months of my life studying organic chemistry and linear algebra. And that's just not possible. I WILL USE THIS SOMEDAY.

A Surprising Link Between Narcissism and Belief in AstrologyWhy you're more likely to believe in the star charts if you're a narcissist, by ArashEmamzadeh ArashEmamzadeh Why'd the science of modern psychology baseline everything on Freud a cocaine addicted pedophile? Who got to use 'psychology' as an excuse to proliferate deviant behavior? Is it really just because it was funded and rubber stamped by deviants of the same kind?
