## [Fun Science Breakthroughs Coming Back From Holiday](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/fun-science-breakthroughs-coming-back-from-holiday)

In the holiday rush, there were some fun science stories I was unable to get to other than the [2022 breakthrough of the year](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/the-final-frontier-science-breakthrough-of-the-year-2022) celebrating the ongoing JWST expedition. Now that we're back from celebrating with friends and family, let's check out some of what we missed!

## [How to Effectively Communicate Science to Your Peers](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/how-to-communicate-science-to-your-peers)
- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)
One of the first things my K-12 science teachers taught me was to write a formal laboratory report. While comparatively crude, the basic structure of the middle/high school lab report is similar to what you might see in an article you read in Cell or Science. I've helped write numerous grant applications and journal articles as well as my own dissertation, and I even helped teach a course at the University of Chicago that emphasized grant writing, so I've been intimately familiar with how the process goes. Additionally, as various lecturers have told me, a good scientist is also a good storyteller, so it made sense that their message stayed with me all these years because they told very good stories about their work that were embedded into my memories (and my memory is honestly not that good). I thought I'd take this time to help you all develop your writing structure and consider how best to deliver your message, whether it is in your own grant application, a new journal article submission to present your findings to the world, or a speaking engagement that, well, keeps the audience of your very well-informed peers engaged!

## [Start Composting in the New Year!](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/start-composting-in-the-new-year)
- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)
Most of the United States is feeling the cold of winter at the moment, but it's never too early to start planning your compost setup. As you all may guess, I'm a big proponent of [sustainable living, even in the laboratory](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/working-toward-sustainability-in-science), and the habits we develop could also lead to a healthier yard and surrounding natural landscape. As a teacher in Chicago, I developed an engineering project with my students to turn a part of our school courtyard into a vegetable garden, and we incorporated composting into it. It was a very cost-effective project as the students would bring in their unused vegetable scraps, recycled papers, and egg shells to school and develop their own compost mixes from which we would derive fertilizing materials for corn and squash. We ended up growing quite a bit of corn and not much else, but I anticipate that was because of the suboptimal lighting due to our building blocking the bulk of the sun's rays most of the day. But imagine what you could do with a little planning and a bit more budget than a public school (but that's a story for another day)!

## [The Scientist’s New Year’s Resolutions](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/the-scientists-new-years-resolutions)
- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)
You know how it is this time of year, when you have to make some New Year’s resolutions to improve from this past year. The good news is that you can put off the actual execution of said resolutions until next year (since it’s only a few days away), and it is probably true that you won’t be able to keep some of them, but at least you can say you tried! Writing these down is a good way to keep a record and try to keep yourself accountable. Besides the normal ones about more exercise and losing weight, here are some science-associated suggestions for good resolutions that aren’t that hard to keep!

## [The Gift of Learning](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/the-gift-of-learning)
- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)
With the holiday season upon us, it is a time to relax and be among loved ones again as we recharge for the push into the new year. Along the way, we have learned quite a bit about medical advances and new discoveries into life processes, information that will be used to drive the next stages of innovation. One of the great perks of having been in an academic setting was the constant immersion in ideas and collaboration, but even though some of us are no longer connected directly to academia, the vast interconnectivity provided by the internet means that we are never too far away from good information that could teach us something new and exciting.

## [The Final Frontier: Science Breakthrough of the Year 2022](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/the-final-frontier-science-breakthrough-of-the-year-2022)
- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)
Every December, Science Magazine awards a scientific breakthrough of the year. When you take a look at the [previous winning breakthroughs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_of_the_Year), they come from all different fields and many have been eventually awarded with Nobel Prizes. The [breakthrough from last year](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/why-protein-structure-is-a-big-deal), for example, is particularly important for structural biologists who hope to translate their findings into practical applications for other biologists and drug researchers. Since a breakthrough suggests a more recent discovery, it is no surprise that the [Science Breakthrough of 2022](https://www.science.org/content/article/breakthrough-2022) is the NASA JWST that has brought us myriad breath-taking images over the past year since its launch.
