All these white powders keep whispering things to me about "grindsets" and "the blockchain"

How many instapot meals would work if cooked in an autoclave? Also, can I season my food with the Sigma-Aldrich 99% pure KCl & NaCl? These are the burning questions that plauge me every day as a research assistant.

Equal parts excited for an actual dialogue (explosion) and terrified of the dropping heart count

Finally found a bumper sticker I resonate with

I was all proud of myself for correctly ID-ing it & finally finding out what it was based on microscope analysis & then a senior researcher comes in and goes "Oh, looking at the Trichoderma?" Just casually answering the question I had been asking people for weeks. Deflated.

I did eventually ID this fucker though. It's trichoderma & actually beneficial. We don't really care about it up here (beneficial fungi are so abundant we don't need to track them) but our labs in gerorgia always test for it & add it back to the soil if it isn't present.

This is who I couldn't ID before. It didn't grow in an even spread & instead in a patchy fluff all over. It's mostly yellow with a hint of green where it's thickest. It could be a kind of aspergillus, but it's unlike any of the a. samples I've seen in this lab. I'd love to hear any ideas anyone has.
