Ötzi and a 45,000-year-old Siberian were both infected with a cancer-causing strain of HPV.
This is fascinating, and a reminder that we have a vaccine that *prevents cancer* and everyone eligible should get it.

We had decided early on not to do ‘Santa’ because we think it’s important for the kids to know and appreciate who their gifts actually come from, but tonight we are getting 3yo to leave all his dummies in a stocking in exchange for gifts from Santa, to teach him how the faeries work

both kids had borderline concerning coughs last night so I’m really hoping Santa doesn’t bring us croup tonight
