Science be cray!

This reminds me of NileRed, and all of his badassery.

This is so insane, wonder if they’re planning to spread the fungus all around to like large landfills or if it only works in controlled enviorments where they harvest the ingredients. Would be so cool if this could make a difference quickly.

As the lead scientist noted in the article, 99% of genomes are "turned off" and there is so much more to discover now that we understand how to turn them on .

We really are just in the first innings of breakthrough discoveries that I believe will benefit all humanity
