Two stories in tomorrow’s New York Times

All I want for Christmas is a lying frog and a bubble-sniffing mole.

For those who want to head for the original papers, check out:

2. “Underwater ‘sniffing’ by semi-aquatic mammals”

Happy Holidays!

UPDATE 12/26: Forgot to mention yesterday that I also talk about the dishonesty article on this week’s edition of the Times Science podcast.
