Microscopic morphology of the saprophytic or mycelial form of Sporothrix schenckii when grown on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar at 25°C. Note clusters of ovoid conidia produced sympodially on short conidiophores arising at right angles from the thin septate hyphae.

Quote 5256Notes

The plain fact is that the planet does not need more “successful people”. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind. it needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and human, and these qualities have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.

Research from Karolinska Institutet shows that the human olfactory bulb — a structure in the brain that processes sensory input from the nose — differs from that of other mammals in that no new neurons are formed in this area after birth. The discovery, which is published in the scientific journal Neuron, is based on the age-determination of the cells using the carbon-14 method, and might explain why the human sense of smell is normally much worse than that of other animals.
