About once every 2 or 3 months I’ll get a couple reposts or a few likes on this 7 year old random tweet about fungi colonizing dead wood. But no other engagement with posts of the same vintage. Anyone else see similar stuff? Just…odd. 🤔
This is gorgeous! For those that don’t know: this is what happens when different species of fungi colonize the same log, and the black lines are sites of melanin synthesis at zones where 2 competitors meet and engage in chemical warfare.

Impressive, but I deadlifted 1140 lbs on Wednesday. 4 reps of 285… that counts, right?

For all the Krebs Cycle haters out there, it’s the big circle in the middle of the chart and thus at the CENTER OF ALL METABOLISM! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Happy to report I am eating organic carbon and breathing 20% oxygen gas and exhaling carbon dioxide, so my mitochondria must be functioning correctly.

I’m not really a huge spice fiend, but I like growing a bunch of different pepper varieties because I just think they’re pretty.

Had to list the sharps we use, and why we use them, on the lab biosafety protocol update. "We use razor blades, mainly for gel bands, but also for this system I got worked out where I slice garlic so thin, it'll liquefy in the pan with a little oil. It's a very good system."

Jalapeño, Habenero, and Cayenne harvest this evening… I haven’t done anything with them yet and my kitchen already smells of capsaicin!

Double helical French fry. Frank checked it out to make sure it’s right handed before I posted it. At least I assume that’s why he’s staring so intently at it.

Stuff made in the 60’s just looks cooler than anything made in the last 50 years. Typewriter # 7 for the collection: 1962 IBM Selectric I.

Got the classroom for my Fall offering of Microbial Phys all figured out now. Tech works, good size for the ~50 students enrolled, and there’s even a semi-hidden nap area behind the podium with a play pen, blankets, and stuffed animals! Just in case anyone needs a time-out…

And on the “2010’s indie stomp clap rock is the worst” front, just listen to the first 3 songs of this record and if you still think the genre should be forgotten, then so be it…

So anyway the one I really want to see is for @JeffTweedy and @JayFarrarMusic and the boys to come back to Columbia, MO for one last Uncle Tupelo show at the Blue Note. Pretty please?
