I remember reading the poem 'First They Came' by pastor Martin Niemöller. Viscerally. It was in my ninth grade social studies class; I was thirteen. It was 2000 - 9/11 hadn't happened yet. The US wasn't at war - not really. Sure there was some middle eastern action, remnants of the gulf war (cont)

Y'allllllllllll I had a meeting with a local herbarium today to discuss accessioning some fungi there and to look at the small fungal collection that was donated by a former professor's widow and like... I thought it'd just be a personal collection. I didn't expect dozens of holotype splits.
