On this day in 1999, in the journal Nature, scientists announce that they have sequenced the DNA of a human chromosome for the first time. The genetic sequence of chromosome 22 is one of the first major findings of the Human Genome Project, an international scientific effort to decode the instructions for life hidden in our cells.

Our Merriam Webster Word of the Day is Complaisant Someone described as complaisant is willing or eager to please other people, or is easily convinced to do what other people want.
// Derek was a complaisant boy, always happy to oblige whenever his mother or father asked him to run an errand.

Now, to wrap up for this Beaver Island Monday…
|
|
Here’s a thought for the day from ― Abraham Lincoln “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.”
On a lighter note… I said to myself, “Self” (and I knew it was me, cause I recognized my voice, and I was wearing my favorite shirt) “Today is going to be a good day!”
