		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Duck has done wonderful work towards outreach and encouraging children to pursue science and math. His name is on several papers that I have come to love, rereading as if they were a beloved novel. I wanted to work with him. Up until I met him. Oh, and did meeting him hurt.

Searching &#8220;[condition/label] blog&#8221; doesn&#8217;t send me to blogs of people with that condition or label (hell, I might not even get a blog).
