The cutest sticker came on my @microbesng.bsky.social parcel! Sadly couldn't salvage it for my laptop but will be kept up on my bench for sure 🥹
A very cute sticker that says 'MicrobesNG, Love Long Reads' with two smiling cute bacteria in the center.

If anyone insults Bukayo Saka ever again I will simply show them this
BBC sport saying ‘Bukayo Saka is the second England player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup knockout match. The only other is Sir Geoff Hurst in the 1966 final.’

James Watson, Co-
Discoverer of the Structure of
DNA, Is Dead at 97
His decoding the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He wrote a celebrated memoir and later ignited an uproar with racist views.
