Congratulations! One cool side fact I learned today is that DNA analysis from Tutankhamun's mummy was able to show that he had malaria! They found the DNA from malaria's mesozoites that burst from the liver onto the bloodstream to find cells to infect. It's remarkable we could find that after so long!



Hearty congratulations.
