Greetings

In a week where research has shown that moderate coffee/caffeine use may help prevent heart disease and strokes, where a woman from China became the first person to have their Type 1 diabetes reversed by stem cell therapy, where a 32,000-year-old wooly rhino was found intact, and where communities across the US southern states are coming together to help with relief efforts after the devastation of Hurricane Helene, we're offering a Tip o' the Hat to our friends gaming in Germany.

There's a little gaming convention going on in Essen, Germany. Two Meeple Mountaineers are attending, Andy (left, founder of Meeple Mountain) and Jesse (writer/reviewer). If you spot either of these two characters there, send us a picture with the two of you and we'll publish it in next week's newsletter!
