A new word learned today: transposon. I had not heard of this before. I like the coppery twist with the penny, as well, Heidi. Fun chapter!

Thank you, Neil! Can you believe it? Transposon! That must be Latin for Jumping Gene.:) Really good to know you had fun with the reading.

We love a bit of magic! As a child, one of my favourite books was ‘Gobbolino the witch’s cat’ 🐈‍⬛ He had sparks that flew out of his whiskers. I think your critters would enjoy that book! ✨

Bio-Diversity is King and necessary for species survival. Jasper Kitten to the rescue, takes centre stage. Jasper Kitten, chemist and scientist along with being a sleuth--solving feline, solves mysteries of all kinds.

A catalyst for goodness. Arya and I are thankful for Jasper Kitten's scientific abilities in both genetics and chemistry.

The transformation has occurred -- and, hopefully, freedom from the biolab soon. Thanks for another gripping chapter, Heidi and critters. That was one lucky penny!
