Getting stuck in the mud was not on my list of things that can happen in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. This year is unusually wet (lake levels up 2ft!) and cold. But @SarahCuprewich still got her dust collectors installed & thanks to @PolarField we were back in action in no time

The deadliest animal in the world is smaller than a pencil eraser and weighs less than the weight of a single raindrop. Every year, it kills an estimated 700,000 people by partaking in what scientists grimly call a “blood meal.” https://t.co/DfKcFJWGMe
