🤩🥲🤯News: My first book, to be titled "The Slime Mold's Guide to World Domination", has been acquired by @DuttonBooks. It will be a funny natural history of slime molds that’s also a mystery — how can a single cell possibly be intelligent? — with a plot twist ending.

@JenniferFrazer You bet, that was amazing! Book writing has been... not terrible! Some days it's the best. And some days I feel like my brain case is full of concrete. How about you? I just saw you're writing one, too!

Leptodora has a crystal clear body with a giant eye and mouth. They can be a couple of centimeters in length and are voracious predators, they feed on other crustaceans. And with their Sauron eye, they can see light.

Ooooooh ... tough call. It's a tossup between "Find Tardigrades" and "Grow slime molds"!

@JenniferFrazer There are probably far more famous VIMs...but few as enthusiastic about such issues as yours truly.

@eftavares Yes! But we are still likely two years away, unfortunately. I get a year, and then the publisher gets a year.

Did the first interview for my new book today. Had to stare at the phone for a while as a I did before my first interview ever. Feels tremendously exciting to kick that monkey off my back and truly begin.
