In this episode of Academia Lite, Sean and Zak get into two thought-provoking papers:

- The effect of having Christmas dinner with in-laws on gut microbiota composition. by de Clercq, N. C., Frissen, M. N., Levin, E., Davids, M., Hartman, J., Prodan, A., ... & Nieuwdorp, M.

- How many calories did Santa Claus consume on Christmas Eve? by Wormser, G. P., & Ladenheim, A.

Examining the irregular, the surprising and the downright funny of each paper, there is something for the academic in all of us.
