CDMX: Coyoacán Neighborhood

The Frida Kahlo Museum (Casa de Azul) had a really long line. So, we went to the Leon Trotsky Museum and a dangerous playground instead. 

Parenting fail: After Jared and I commented to each other multiple times about how this type of playground equipment and ground covering is no longer allowed in the U.S. for good reasons, I forced Aeneas to do the monkey bars resulting in a fall in rough gravel and a lot of bleeding.

Halloween 2017

Another amazing Halloween in Culver City. Another amazing Halloween for Aeneas to dress as a wizard and pretend like he's not in costume.

Aeneas Turns 11!

He asked for "a barrel" for this birthday. I said, "Come again, a barrel?" He said, "yeah, to sit in and feel cozy while I read."

Amazon doesn't carry barrels. They do, however, have Pea Pods. He is very pleased. Temple Grandin should be proud.

Football on the Brain

 He thinks about football a lot.

March for Science

They are smiling proudly because they are the only ones holding sign with appropriately cited data at the March for Science.

**Virtually all the important, innovative vaccines introduced in the past 25 years were created by public sector research institutions (Stevens, et al., NEJM, 2011)

**10% of NIH grants lead to patents and 30% of NIH grants are cited in articles for patents. These patents are for new drugs, medical devices, and medicine-related technology. (Li, Azoulay, Sampat, Science, 2017)
