FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀 Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station! Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀 🧵

Did you know? The annual mean #soil temperature of a place can differ by up to 10°C from that same place's mean air temperature 👉 findings like these are important to inform global change #ecology: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16060 #sciencetwt

What would be on your 'science creativity cv'? Preparing for my MSc course, I have assembled a cv of science achievements, where I think I have been creative in some way. It's been an interesting exercise. When it's done, maybe I'll share it here.... #AcademicChatter #phdlife
