Vortexes are simple devices commonly used in labs to mix small vials of liquid. But have you ever tried vortexing your finger? This watercolor is a tribute to the vortex - a simple but indispensable lab device

Wow today's issue of The Washington Post features a press release of our recent study led by R. Henrik Nilsson washingtonpost.com/science/2…
Mycology’s ‘dark fungi’ debate turns on recognition of mystery species

Mycology’s ‘dark fungi’ debate turns on recognition of mystery species

The mycologists argues that their field’s nomenclature guidelines make it seem as though thousands of recently discovered types of fungi simply don’t exist.

Couldn’t have written that manuscript with my two favorite fungi, I mean cats, fusarium (fuse) and aspergillus (Gilly) 💚

This! These new laws are horrible. Graduate Students, post-docs, and new faculty are transient academics that travel where the science is. These laws limit where it will be safe to be a queer scientist and where we can take a job or fellowship.

In light of the laws passed in Tennessee and those extremely likely to pass in Texas and elsewhere: CISGENDER FACULTY IN RED STATES MUST INFORM NEW POTENTIAL QUEER GRADUATE STUDENTS OF THE LAWS THAT WILL IMPACT THEM.

Does anyone know how to make an ordination plot like the top fig? I am trying to display the proportion of fungal guilds in ordination space. I found this fig and a similar one that used PRIMER but I'm using R can use Python if someone has a solution.

49 degrees north was tons of fun yesterday. Now if I could get off the lift without falling every time. 😂
Me on top of the ski run. With one foot in my blue snowboard binding, other foot out of binding. I’m wearing black pants and an olive green and blue jacket, black gloves and a black helmet with powder blue goggles on top. Smiling because I was having lots of fun!

@OKWildlifeDept You missing one of yours? 🦝 This furry little bandit was running amuck at our Archives and Records Annex this week, setting off alarms, break ceiling tiles, and knocking things off shelves. He was safely caught and released at Chickasha Lake. 🌳

To make a Death Cap mushroom, two haploid mycelia of different sexes must fuse to form a heterokaryotic mycelium with genetically different nuclei, right? Right? 👀 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check it out, my last interview for @NatGeo on the "zombie fungi". Cordyceps is a real fungus—but is it dangerous? nationalgeographic.com/scien…
Cordyceps is a real fungus—but is it dangerous?

Cordyceps is a real fungus—but is it dangerous?

The zombie-creating fungus in The Last of Us is real, but there are many other fungi to fear. Of the 5 million fungal species in the world, a few hundred are dangerous to people.
