May you all dream of rain and sunshine like tiny grass.
Happy 40th birthday, Brenda!
It has been 40 great years together, and you are just as cuddly as you were in 1983 :)
haven't seen a slow-speed chase this thrilling since a white bronco in '94
Every so often, I eat a banana, and I think about what an amazing example of intelligent design that it is.
Thank you, Farmers of New Guinea!
Katalin Karikó was overlooked for decades.
She struggled to get funding. She didn’t get tenure.
But she believed in her ideas and continued her work.
Her research on mRNA went on to save millions of lives through development of COVID-19 vaccines.
Today she has won the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman, scientists who worked together to turn messenger RNA from a fragile genetic material that triggered a problematic immune response into a powerful medicine. Their key breakthrough in 2005 went largely unnoticed, but is now the backbone of two leading coronavirus vaccines and could lead to a whole new class of vaccines and drugs.
