Colonists declared him a patron saint. They wore bucktail hats and gave the whoop. Washington threw his feast day at Valley Forge while troops starved. His name ended up on Boss Tweed's desk. Tamanend just offered Penn some acorns.

I noticed Mozrall and her team sampling for microplastics when I was out riding across this bridge a while back, and I’m glad she is working to help us understand some of the basics of microplastic concentrations, types, and distributions — actionable data that can drive mitigation policy.

We had another #FermeScholen student conference on vegetable #fermentation and #microbial_literacy. Last weeks experience gave us a bit more peace of mind to enjoy it even more ourselves. Students were more rowdy but positively rowdy. An auditorium filled with young bulls. Lots of shouty fun!
Our own students, who helped us out with the project this entire year, dropped off a pie. Really it's them who should get the praise for being such motivated
