Teppo Rämä gave a terrific presentation on marine fungi yesterday (he's a mycologist specialising in arctic marine fungi).

I was amazed to learn that there are fungi which parasitise diatoms! There are also marine fungal species which have demonstrated the capacity to degrade polyethylene microplastics.

He shared a slide which showed a massive increase in fungal activity following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill; very interesting from a bioremediation perspective.

When people talk about travelling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

School administrators, parents, and students may be happy to learn that an “edtech” company has signed the “Student Privacy Pledge.” But there is a disconnect between what one might expect when reading the Pledge & what companies must do to comply with it.

@ephemeral @Anke the idea that everyone just assumes going into the library is free and the assumption that you just go there without needing any “reason” is essential to the concept. If you walked into a library and they were like why are you here it would be a different experience. Remembering that this concept was created over time by humans and we are able to recreate this type of space with a new dynamic seems really powerful. It seems like we are missing much vocabulary in this space tho
