Welcome to our last paper round-up of the year. (It's a bit early, since one of us is leaving for Disney World!) This issue wraps up Volume 4 - past issues can be found in the newsletter archive. We wish our readers a happy and peaceful holiday season, and we will be back in the new year with Volume 5 of the FRB Newsletter.

We note a job advertisement that may be specifically relevant to the readers of this newsletter below:

• The SETI Institute is offering two prize postdoctoral fellowships, one of which is the William J. Welch Fellowship, centered on "Engineering the Future of Cosmic Exploration". Applications open January 8th, 2024 and close March 1st, 2024. More details can be found here.
