Absolutely love this story!

Thinking about biological collections lately I'm reminded of the time that somehow at age 4, I got a personal tour of the @UCBerkeley entomology collection (Essig?) from a kind scientist (anybody know who?!). Asked my parents how on earth THAT happened, and it turns out...🤯

I am reliably informed that today is #NationalBiscuitDay. Here is a 🧵 of all the biscuits I've made so far in 2021. First up, my William Morris set. Inspired by an old @V_and_A calendar, everything hand-piped in royal icing. Flavour: cardamom, orange & vanilla.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Smithsonian. My sincere thanks to staff across the Smithsonian for providing a safe and smooth reopening and offering meaningful visitor experiences every day.

The Smithsonian will fully reopen this summer. Ten museums will reopen between June and August with added health and safety measures. Many will have reduced hours. Visitors will need to reserve free, timed-entry passes for most locations. Full schedule: si.edu/visit
