In defense of my clothing, she ended the talk with a quote about seeds being coffins, those skulls are covered with flowers, and @llseedsull.bsky.social KILLED!!!

Also surprisingly delicious, pickled grapes! First heard about them on the splendid table www.splendidtable.org/story/2009/1...

Two faves: 1) Pickled! www.allrecipes.com/recipe/72126... 2) Salsa! natashaskitchen.com/fresh-peach-...

I took my (then) 5 yr old to a conference talk. He kept begging to leave and when we didn't, he proceeded to undress in the session room. He won that one.

Depends what "part of" means. It doesn't go through any life cycle stages, so it doesn't have "generations" itself. It supports sporophytes regardless of origin. In angios, it results from fertilization with genetic contributions of both parents (so maybe sporo), but gameto in gymnos? Def grey area

Review of applications for the next director of the Kellogg Biological Station begins in just a few weeks (January 21st)! Please consider applying and share widely! careers.msu.edu/jobs/institu...

Lovely to catch up with @smwadgymar.bsky.social !

Please share widely, consider applying, and feel free to reach out with any questions!

I'll see if I can get them to change the header info to add the 'begin review' date, but some of that formatting is not changeable. This particular template def works better for short-term postings.

Application review will begin in late January, but officially the position will remain open until filled (hopefully BEFORE Dec 2026). Let me know if you have questions! I'm co-chairing the search.

Maybe I'll even post something! 😜
