Tervist, sannu, molo, elo and welcome,
When was the last time any of us looked at ourselves in the mirror and thought, "Wow. I really am a scientific marvel of put-togetherness. My body's carbon and hydrogen components are particularly radiant today." The human body is amazing-not regardless of size, color or shape-but because of it.
I think the concept of our brain taxi on a meta level is a fascinating one, and there's definitely some of that over in this oddly enticing corner of the universe. The weaponry of war is brutal and destructive for a reason, but sometimes it can lead to an unexpected discovery that actually saves lives instead of taking them. When it comes to finding a candidate to help wipe out a global pandemic, I know I probably wouldn't be starting my search with a call to a jam band that has the word 'dead' in their name. Iconic figures in children's literature can often stay ingrained with us for our lifetimes, but one such character and its generous author have made sure kids having a tough go of things on the health front will remember it for another wonderful reason.

Help us keep those shoulder-mounted, most-complicated-objects-in-the-known-universe on their proverbial toes. If you have a story that you know our readers will love, tell us!
My best wishes for an inspiring week ahead. As always, stay interested. It makes you interesting.
