Awww. @cnaumann123.bsky.social is this related to Steffen Abel's work? I was in his lab @ucdavis.bsky.social and I remember the phosphate sensing project and Pdr2 mapping. Is he still at @ipbhalle.bsky.social ??? Very cool!

Can you culture the fungus and inoculate on other plants? Or could you do post-harvest fermentations with it? I assume if its valuable, then there's some propagation of it.

That looks fungly, but super cool.

Why? If you can target the light accurately, it could shine on crops to disrupt the photoperiod and trick certain crops to keep growing larger- rather than diverting resources to flowering when the day length decreases. But it seems like an expensive technology with uncertain uses and returns.

I just told my son last night - this weekend is our last chance to hike Lassen. A forecast of 30" of snow is no joke!

Funny, we sing "Smooth and Creamy" - and we usually reserve this for a couple of adults or I've seen more mature staffers- who can choose appropriate places for the shaving cream.

But it's always a hoot- and you end up smelling so fresh after it's done!

Honestly, this comes across as "we shouldn't stand up for science, instead we should fight tyrrany." I'm not sure this aligns with SUFS.
