Today's word is one that should come in handy now that winter is on the horizon... even if, so far, this month has been underwhelmingly warm. It's peysa, and it means "sweater" (or "jumper" for those of you overseas).
I'm an entomologist currently living in New York City, fresh out of grad school. My main research interests are social arthropods and scorpion biology. In my spare time, I enjoy reading ancient poetry, speaking in foreign languages with those who can't understand me, and interpreting the thunder. I really love a complex grammar, as well as the smell of peppermint and hugging large mammals. I also really like talking to myself; I'm pretty interesting!
Currently learning Icelandic, slowly but surely. Other languages: English, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Greek.
