My babies!! 😍😍

My friends at Little Acre here in Brisbane have been working hard cultivating fruiting bodies of some of the native Hericium I’ve collected and isolated into culture. We have some excited research planned for these - watch this space!

In my down time, I apparently like to pretend to be a biologist and do things like attend taxonomy conferences. It was a very nice time and very good to meet some of the people I have been bugging with a million emails for the past 2 years. 🍄🍄

Part two, pictured: also me (in spirit), every morning for the past month when I wake up and check the to do list:

• grant writing
• more grant writing
• writing again, but this time it’s those papers you still haven’t finished.

#Academia 🙂

Pictured: me, writing a grant about complicated human diseases instead of just fun ways to kill fungi. May the lottery be kind to me.
