Fun guy chillin’ in South American rainforest finds plastic-eating fungi
Seriously, though this is kind of a big deal. Know that big problem we have? You know, the one involving a crapload of used plastic hanging around in landfills with nowhere to biodegrade for a couple million years? Well, Jonathan Russell might’ve solved that problem. See, Russell and his fellow Yale students went to Ecuador, where they found a new kind of fungus they’re calling Pestalotiopsis microspora. Big deal, you’re thinking. Anyone can find fungus anywhere! Well, something his fellow students found out after the fact is that this fungus can live on a diet of polyurethane alone — and even crazier, it doesn’t even need air to do so! In other words, we could potentially put it at the bottom of a landfill and cover it with plastic, and it would do the rest of the work. This might be game-changing if it works as advertised.

Pluto at 82: A ‘Chihuahua’ Among Planets
On Feb. 18, 1930, American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered the ninth planet, Pluto. As we celebrate the 82nd anniversary of its discovery, we are also reminded about the controversy that still surrounds this little world’s planetary status.
In light of the discovery of Eris in 2005, the following year the International Astronomical Union (IAU) voted to define what a “planet” actually is. Unfortunately for Pluto, it became a rounding error and joined Eris in the “dwarf planet” club.
