If you're like me, the holiday break is all about consuming everyone's year-end recaps--and of course, looking ahead to the year to come. We're taking a short break here on PopSci.com, but we're not going to leave you hanging with nothing--here we've compiled both our year-end Best of What's New list and our look ahead to 2010 in science, all in one place for your holiday enjoyment.

You may have already checked out our list on the Best of What's New site; if not, it's a great way to get familiar with the best of the year in gadgets, engineering, green tech and more. Be sure to use the links within the gallery to check out more photos and video over on the Best of What's New site.
