@LouisKFHo @BacterioFiles Thanks for doing cool science!

@ScienceIsMetal In my experience, just kinda throw your mouth into gear and hope for the best

I just caught up in my podcast listening to @roseveleth's @flashforwardpod ep about pandemics... yeah. Very interesting perspective. https://t.co/tWWTVSHFpf

Does anyone know of a good, reasonably exhaustive list of eukaryotic microbes? One that can be copied and pasted as text? I realize that's a term that's difficult to define strictly in all cases, and I'm ok with that.

Ok I don't have any more poems, at least for now. Making poems is hard! But fun.

...
Like the crossroads
Where a gondola
Carried a strange magician.

[Jesse Noar @JesseNoar]

Memory links scattered across roadways,
Ghosts of stories once heard,
Active only as I approach:

When my own head gets loud,
Sometimes I turn off the sound.
Then my own thoughts I hear;
Not another's in my ear.

The path is clear, the light is green.
Surge forward to enter the world beyond
Before the way snaps shut.

...
It enslaves thylakoids to harvest solar rays
Guided through quantum ways.

...
With xylem, it wicks water from ground to sky
And breaks it apart
To rebuild the atmosphere in its own image.

...
With roots like villi,
It caresses hairlike symbionts
And grasps with rock-crushing force.

Waiting for jury duty,
I contemplate a tree:
A genius of physics,
Master of earth, air, water, and light.

[Jesse Noar @JesseNoar]

Viewed through a lens,
The small, bright circle of bleached regolith
Manifests the boundaries
Of the planet grounding me.

...
If only he could peel back the dura
and spill his imaginings
directly onto the canvas of the air.

[Jesse Noar @JesseNoar]

In his head is a picture
My friend wants to paint;
To pattern waves and particles
After tangled webs of neurons.

@asksciencemike Never mind, I figured it out!

Today's poem:
Curled up, tucked away, silent,
Inside of a monster
Is a person no one can see.

[Jesse Noar @JesseNoar]

Today's poem:
A story is a funhouse mirror;
Showing real things otherwise unseen,
Others worlds you live in, other people you are.

[Jesse Noar @JesseNoar]

The giant has two legs like trees, but she has six.
The giant has massive pincers, but not as sharp.
The ant is not afraid. She attacks.
