What do Homer Simpson and Winnie-the-Pooh have in common? Both were subjected to deep and meaningful research in past issues of CMAJ's Holiday Review (CMAJ 1998;159[12]:1480-1; 2000; 163 [12]:1557-9). Our valiant researchers have also studied the impact of the way physicians wear their stethoscope — traditional or “cool” position — as well as the value of chicken soup in treating health problems. You too can contribute to this hallowed quest for scientific knowledge. Remember — very original research is what we are looking for. Dare to be different!
