Anelise Søndergaard (August 14, 1924 - 1985) was an autodidact Danish painter - the daughter of artist Jens Søndergaard. She depicted the landscapes, animals and people of the Thy region, much as her father did before her, and with a strong Colorist palette.

Denmark has not had many Nobel Prize winning scientists (9 to date), but this is the second day in a row we can celebrate one…

Jens Christian Skou (Oct. 8, 1918 - 2018) was born in Lemvig, about 30 miles from my hometown. He was a biochemist with a degree in medicine and served as a professor of biophysics.

His main discovery was of the existence of the sodium–potassium pump in cells, which sprang from his work with local anesthesia. For this he received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, becoming the most recent Danish Laureate.

True to his West Coast fishing town origins he did much of his experimental work using crabs and sharks.
