That sort of bleaching seems weird for temperature. It almost reads more like herbicide exposure to me?

An important consequence of the analysis by Paajanen et al is that the 'cell-to-cell mobile RNA' user-defined description listed under Gene Ontology by TAIR is a classification based on flawed analyses. Be careful!

Depends... but I would follow up weekly. Some unis refuse more than 30 days after travel and depending on where the hang up is (if you are dealing with "intermediate" admins) this can be an issue. Okay to be bothersome with this, IMO.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

I think COVID threw a spanner in the works with scheduling with certain "competing" plant conferences. So even though it is "due" in '24, they are waiting until '25 to offset it with certain GRCs.

Brian, I had to Google this. Coming from you, I genuinely have no idea if this is completely true; well-known lore but false; or something you made up off the cuff.
I found this: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...
which sounds interesting but also I still don't know if this thing is correct.

Photo of a cross section through a peperomia leaf stained blue with Toluidine blue. A large layer of succulent epidermis is on top, followed by a narrow band of palisade mesophyll and lots of large spongy mesophyll cells.
Love me some Peperomia leaf cross sections. Look at that chonky epidermis*!
*I don't know off the top of my head if this succulent tissue is really derived from epidermis or ground tissue, but I always thought epi. Either way it's juicy.
