Those colors are trippy, I love it!
This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here's what I've got:
-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more
-Plant beans/peas earlier
-Plant okra later
-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!
-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em
-Wouldn't bother with celery again, probably
-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I'd do kohlrabi again too
-Planted too many types of lettuce
Huh, I've never considered estimating the weight of my hands, but after reading I can see the importance/application.
Love the contrast of all the greenery with the jelly ears!
This has been happening to me for like two weeks.
That really sucks, it's not cool that they took you on as a student when they knew they'd be looking to leave the university. The closest comparison I have is I had a classmate whose PI left the university and offered to take her, but she decided to master out instead. It didn't affect her career and was ultimately a great move.
I think it's normal that you'd have trouble trusting them again and you should probably consider your options. Can you transfer to another lab in your department? Alternatively, you said you went through all the trouble to travel and apply at the new university. Can you still go and just pick a new lab there? If you're post-candidacy/quals/etc, they should hopefully respect that and maybe it can accelerate your track.
I've heard of this happening occasionally with cooked brown rice, so I guess it's not out of the question! My guess is that the corn will probably wilt and die before it gets big enough to poke holes in the bag. Are you using any lights? Leaving it in the dark at this stage might help discourage corn growth. But keep us posted on what happens
I'm rocking with the PWA for now but you better believe I'm signed up for that Boost release
Saving this to send to coworkers next time we have to go to a meeting that could have been an email
Bird's nest is so crazy looking! I found some near me last year and I've been watching for it to pop back up.

Not a fungus: Ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is a parasitic plant commonly mistaken for a mushroom.

I see these all over the Midwest. Learn about how Monotropa uses the fungal connection between tree roots to siphon nutrients on this old webpage recommended by the US Forest Service.
This coneflower I pass on my walk to work has been super popular with all kinds of insects
I love how tiny and delicate they are! Northern West Virginia.

Found this eastern red centipede coiled around her eggs while I was out looking for millipedes today
(mander.xyz)
I believe this is Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, the eastern red centipede. Females protect the clutch from predators and mold spores, and some species also protect young after they hatch.

Damn, I've been struggling this week with whether I should leave my PhD program with a master's or keep toughing it out, and this really hit home for me.
