From our Treasury: “We’re moving from the hard currency of pebbles to the 21st century of currency known as “Cryo-currency”. We will be releasing a Gov supported memechunk of ice, which may become valuable, or may melt tomorrow. It’s really an exciting gamble that’s sure to pay off for a few of us.”

The work I'm doing today is a refusal to give up. What we 👩‍🔬 do is important. What we do is essential. I will not give in. I will not give up.

The most common spelling is 'April Fools' Day,' since there are more than one. Honestly.
