I collect spores, molds, and fungus

There's a documentary about slime mold! The Creeping Garden (2014), by Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp. It screened two years ago at the Brattle and I missed it. I didn't even know. It's plasmodial slime molds, not cellular, but that's okay. I'll still watch it. Fortunately, there appears to be a Blu-Ray/DVD. I'm so happy. It had better include the time a slime mold modeled the railway system of Tokyo.

I remember about the slime mold modeling the railway system of Tokyo. It's a great world.

This is one of the reasons I feel very strongly about people not fucking it up! Save the world for slime mold. Maybe I'll carry a sign to that effect at the March for Science.

Are you going to Washington, or is there a sister march in Boston?

There's a sister march in Boston. We talked about going to D.C., but at the moment it's easier for my father not to travel that far, so luckily the scientists of Boston are on the case.

That's great that your father will be joining you ... I can't venture more, because when I start to make remarks about the generations coming together and the fate of the world .... it's more emotion than I want to cope with just this moment.
