Reminder--Animalcules this week

(As of the time I'm typing this, the site that's supposed to host Grand Rounds says the domain is expired, and since I'm at an all-day meeting, I want to get a few reminders out there. Hopefully GR will beam up while I'm out...) Two reminders: first, Animalcules goes live over at Discovering…
