Paul Stamets on TLoU Cordyceps
I have just finished watching the second episode of #TheLastOfUs and I have two opinions.

First, I’m a science-fiction fan and I love weaving the creative elements of fungi into the narrative.
But let’s get real. Cordyceps can not infect humans. pic.twitter.com/R0cLGq0GPO
"In reality, Fungi offer us today some of the best solutions that are needed for solving many of the existential threats that we face. In fact, Cordyceps-like fungi could replace the majority of chemical pesticides with an ecologically rational and economically scalable solution."

So cute!
Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers at D.I.C.E.
Shared this with the Tetris film announcement but want to pop this in here as well. If you've never heard Henk Rogers talk about acquiring the rights to Tetris, it really is a wild, must-listen kind of story. I'm looking forward to seeing it play out in the Tetris film once it's released!
