I'll always remember chatting with a guy at the airport who asked what I was in grad school for. Unexpectedly, he was thrilled to talk about neuroscience, and asked what I thought of a recent study. Some researchers had put dogs in fMRI to "prove" that dogs can feel love.

Szechuan peppercorns. They do not contain capsaicin, but produce a vanilloid drug that opens potassium leak channels in your mouth, preferentially in the fine touch afferents. When you eat szechuan spice these neurons misfire and tell your brain that you are sensing a rapid, fluttery (50Hz) vibration.

Also called Chinese prickly ash, these trees are not related to chili peppers or black pepper, but are instead very small citrus fruit. Fears over them introducing citrus blight led to a ban on imports to the US that was only overturned in 2005. Since then, people like me have been discovering how good they are in pasta sauce.

Unfortunately I didn't take any closeups. After some searching I think this was probably xanthoria. It was dry, flakey, and had those fairy cup fruiting bodies. Not so obvious in any of my pics.

Here is the other I took.

Here it is on a tree. It consistently grew on this species but not others.

 

This bright orange lichen grows all over the old stones on the main island of São Miguel, as well as on some trees. It made driving a bit easier where it grew near roads like high visibility paint.

Looks great, but tangled. Where do you go from here? Will they not choke each other out?

"Set" (v. intransitive) literally always refers to orbital bodies becoming occluded by a horizon. She knew this
