I have a radio telescope. It's in the side yard. It was a high school science project. I'm still prouder of the incubator full of E. coli-fed cellular slime mold. They were beautiful.

A radio telescope? I have never been anywhere **near** one. What do you see, when you look through?

I know how radio telescopes work *really* but I like to imagine that instead of giving us images of the radiowave end of the electromagnetic spectrum, they gave us a sound report. And not hisses and pops and static, like the underlying sound of the Big Bang, but tunes and notes and chimes.

The slime mold that eats E. coli: I'm imagining the doctor to the patient. "We can cure your case of E. coli, but you'll have to get slimed.

Hope today's day at Arisia goes well.
