#AminoAcidAdvent Day 1: Proline
The kinkiest of amino acids (NSFW!), synthesized from glutamic acid, and some even call it the simplest "enzyme". Regardless, its a pro move to include the hydroxyproline variable mod if your abundant proteins have collagen domains... really, do this.

Quick PSA: If you are planning a trip to Fairbanks this upcoming aurora season, the extra hours of darkness in Dec-Jan likely won't help you. In Fairbanks under quiet conditions, auroras usually don't start to appear until 9-10 pm.

I'm working on a quickstart guide for people who want to plant native plants, but don't know all the things to consider when choosing plants.
I think this is inherently challenging due to the absolute mountain of caveats that goes into doing this properly.
