Every scientist's favourite newspaper!

So let me see if I got this straight. Covid-19 originated in penguins and it was all a secret WIV plot? That's it, right?

Well, my sadly departed dad (born 1945) was adopted, and his biological father was a Polish-American who had enlisted with the Polish army in 1940. They were stationed in Scotland until D-Day. We managed to trace the distant cousins back to Zamosc, whom we met on an epic road trip in 2010.

Great-babcia. It's a long story (which I enjoy telling, of course).

That's a perfect example, and it's difficult not to sound condescending when you point out the difference. That puts people right off.

I looked younger than that in 1979! Good to see pani Rybicka - none of my grandparents were able to attend my graduation, unfortunately.
