happy selenium birthday

today is marta's selenium (34th) birthday.  

despite my efforts, i've failed to draw many connections between marta's upcoming year and the compound that bears it's number.  however, i did learn that brazil nuts are nature's densest source of selenium, one ounce containing 544 micrograms, or 777% of the recommended daily allowance.

marta, may your upcoming year be as dense with joy as brazil nuts are with selenium (compared to other foods).
