Do you remember that old live action Super Mario Brothers movie from the early 90s? Where the fungus was helping orchestrate the brother’s plot line? That might actually have some basis in reality.
Find out what we are talking about in Radiolab Podcast‘s “From Tree to Shining Tree” #ScienceSunday

Happy Belated #ScienceSunday!
Science is an ongoing dialogue rooted in rational skepticism;
As Robert Merton wrote:
“… claims should be exposed to critical scrutiny before being accepted …”
Stay open to new ideas, always question what the world puts in front of you, and follow the evidence wherever it leads;
Stay skeptical friends 😉

Some people will write you off as a loon, others will pontificate about the Fermi Paradox, friends will even caution you about the lessons learned in the movie Independence Day; but a select few dreamers will quietly encourage you to keep searching… to always keep searching for answers.
