Hello Weird! I am on a weird mood myself, so I want to share some fun facts with you, hopefully you will find them interesting.
Here is the first. Currently some of the scientists of my country are doing a deep sea exploration n one of our main coast cities. They have a submarine that records awesome images and they collect samples. It is wonderful. It has been going for several days and it is going to end by Sunday I think. They are streaming every dive and it has becoming a huge hit. In a moment where the government is basically attacking all science, especially basic one, this is huge. The excitement of the scientist aboard is contagious too and I think many children are considering a career in biology thanks to this. This is done thanks to the Schmidt Ocean Institute, who does this sort of things around the world. Apparently not everywhere it is such a hit. Here everyone is talking about it. If you want to take a look you can find the already recorded videos and often there is still the live streaming. Right now, for instance

In 1806 here in Buenos Aires, there was a priest called Saturnino Segurola, He had studied medicine, he was also a librarian and he was in charge of a foster service. He also had a brother who had a big state, I am not sure if the orphanage was in his place. Well, thing is Saturnino was informed about the advances of medicine, and in that year he began vaccinating the orphan children (first, and then other children too) against chickenpox. He was so successful that even after the change of government (in 1810 we began having an autonomous government, first big step towards independence) he was charged with the vaccination program in the city and sourroundings. Well, the first vaccinations in 1806 were applied under a big tree (a "pacará",
Enterolobium contortisiliquum). Well, that tree became an historical monument. I think it was the first time a living organism was declared a monument in Argentina. Well, the original tree is gone now, for old age, but there is one "child" that grew from its seeds and it is now in the same location. It is a big tree and it's in a small, preserved square, now sourrounded by buildings. it happens to be in the corner of my dentist office

I like that story and I wonder what Segurola would think if he knew that in 2025 there would be antivaxxers and that, for example, in USA the measles vaccination is fast-dropping

This concludes my weird post. Hope you enjoyed it.
