a mystery

i found a two-headed dandelion 😁 i’m choosing to assume it means good luck

note to self: codon optimize *before* designing all the primers 🥲

the plant gods have smiled upon me with this beautiful red finger lime i found at my local feed store of all places 🤩 i don’t question i just accept

side benefit of your PI getting inducted into the National Academy of Sciences: free cronuts 🥳 🥳 congratulations again, Roger!! @inneslab.bsky.social

yangmei grafting attempt #2! 🤞

my emotions this week

finally got around to starting some seeds for Garden Attempt 2025. i'm trying to limit myself to a reasonable number of plants this year but i keep finding little hidden stashes of seeds that i forgot about because apparently i'm part squirrel and then i have to plant more 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

i found a plant that looks like tapeworms and just had to have it 😆

love my new window at work 🥰

did you know those sad little hardware store succulent plants eventually flower if you take care of them?

synthetic photosynthesis? 🤩

this unseasonably warm weather has really kick started my retirement fund

i live in the midwest so i know it’s just a temporary fool’s spring, but the crocuses are blooming and it makes me happy

how cool is this 🤩

took a picture of a leaf today:)
