On a day when many of us need a pick me up, here is a nice fact. Although the U.S. is home to only 4.3% of the world’s population, 43% of the world’s top 100 universities
are located in the U.S. (avg from 4 global ranking systems).

Took this photo of a dragonfly on our farm in NH. I had no idea, until zooming in, that their wings near the body are structured like a biplane - two layers joined by fine “wire” like structures.
