Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.

Today's deep-cut deity: Tuesday was named after Tiw, the Old English version of Tyr, god of war. But I did not know that the pre-Incan Uru people of the Andes also had a god named Tiw, protector of mines, lakes and rivers. So I guess this is also the other Tiw's day! Let's jump in a lake!

Was talking with my Spanish teacher today about how I tend to confuse creer (to believe) with crear (to create), but how that makes sense, because creation and belief are inextricably linked, and I think that's kind of beautiful!

Frogs in the water and frogs in the grass,
Some frogs are transparent, like they’re made of glass.
No frog has a tail (a frog’s not a newt).
Some frogs are named after tomato fruit.
To gaze upon a frog: for sore eyes, it’s a cure.
Happy World Frog Day to you and to yours!
