Lots of great fungi in Stony Brook SP last weekend! Striking how one species was growing only in the sapwood region of the log. Small red one is likely some kind of Tremella (?), and the larger red one is likely Hemlock varnish shelf fungus (Ganoderma sp).

this also made me think of Jessica Comstock's work (from the Welch lab at Syracuse) on propagating waves in Myxococcus that she presented at NEMPET 2019 @NEMPETInc

This is amazing - had to watch it more than once!

Slime mold going psychedelic 😳

@MoniqueURoc yes! very cool right? Time lapse videos of Myxococcus are also amazing, for example: https://t.co/in6MPylGkj

Jack O’Lanterns - not just for pumpkins! These orange fungi are bioluminescent and can cause problems for mushroom hunters due to their resemblance to Chanterelles https://t.co/NguwKYJB0B #HalloweenFungi

Will be interesting to see if it's a single microbe or a community in the biofilm

Anyone else experiencing this trend? Anyone on grad admissions committees - do you use this data? Or do you mainly look at the letter itself?

[Hutchison Lab @HutchisonLab]

Rant: Last year all grad school letters of rec I submitted simply had me upload a letter. This year, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. required ~15 min of rating the applicant + filling out short answer questions.

In addition to being a fantastic scientist and human being, Amelia also has two excellent dogs and frequently bakes cheese bread. You should definitely apply to her lab if you like those things and also endosymbionts

The School of Biological Sciences at Washington State University no longer requires the GRE for graduate school applications! #grexit #wsu Please RT!

I love catchy paper titles. Was doing some background reading for class and came across this gem: "The past and present of the sodium energetics: May the sodium-motive force be with you." Amazing. @lisafstinson has a great thread on funny paper titles https://t.co/ma23UuwSEU

cryo-EM images are just amazing!

Fungi & Fall Foliage! Not quite as cute as the birds nest fungus, but still very cool. Looks like a coral fungus, though not sure which genus.
