Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Owl knew to trust her intuition.
Sometimes it was a nervous feeling inside, something that made her feathers tingle. Other times it was an intangible force driving her on.
Even when it wasn't exactly what she wanted, she knew it was her true wisdom speaking. She always listened.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

This tile comes from the workshops of William De Morgan.
William De Morgan was one of the most important ceramic artists of the Arts and Crafts movement.
He initially trained as a fine artist but changed direction when in 1863 he met William Morris.

Painted in 1916, J D Fergusson's 'Poise,' is thought to be a youthful portrait of the writer Katherine Mansfield. The picture was rediscovered in 2016 in an attic of a house in Giverny after being hidden away for almost a century.
