Google Doodle: Mark Twain

He is widely known as Mark Twain, the author of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, two of the books I have read when I was a child. I was also able to watch the cartoon series in the local network way back. He achieved great success as a writer and public speaker. His wit and satire earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty. 

Cheers to his birthday today!

Google Logo: Gregor Mendel

Today's Google Logo celebrates 

the 189th birthday of scientist Gregor Mendel.

Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822^[1] – January 6, 1884) was a Czech-German Augustinian friar and scientist, who gained posthumous fame as the figurehead of the new science of genetics for his study of the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of these traits follows particular laws, which were later named after him. The significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century. The independent rediscovery of these laws formed the foundation of the modern science of genetics. - wikipedia
