Spent five nights in the Sawtooth Mountains with no cell service/internet. Only nature, plants, and good friends. Feel incredibly grateful for the experience and came back home with a clear mind and a fresh set of ideas.

I was listening to this podcast with Bill McKibben and heard the figure that 40% of Australia homes have solar panels on their roofs. I was a bit skeptical until I flew into Brisbane this morning. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/o...

Spent the last few days with the delightful Bill Barker in and about Adelaide, South Australia. Bill continues to make great progress on taxonomy of Australian Phrymaceae (monkeyflowers) and the discussion we had were amazingly insightful. He

Delighted to see the famous Pitch Drop Experiment at the University of Queensland today. Like the Beal Seed Experiment at Michigan State University, it is one of the longest in the world. More details here: www.snexplores.org/article/long...

Amazing to finally get all of my lab group together in one place! I think this is the first time that this has happened since before the pandemic.
