Hear Elio speak on the “Meet the Scientist” podcast. He is being interviewed about the joys and uses of microbiology blogs and mushroom hunting by (another Merry) Merry Buckley. The episode is about 16 minutes long.

I really enjoyed that. Granted, I don't pretend that I understood more than half of all the mushroom speak, but still it was a good listen. Very educational.

Mark,
You praise me overmuch. I wish I could live up to your approbation. But let's not argue - learning that you have become a mycophagist is a fine reward.

Elio, it is great to hear your voice again.
One thing that has always impressed me has been your sheer breadth of interests, and your ability to "see" things *I* certainly haven't thought about (such as the viscosity of the nucleoid, versus making promoters available for transcriptional machinery---that viscid region must be churning like a horrific nanoscale typhoon!).
Please consider telling us how you keep up---what is the Elio Regimen for Staying Microbiologically Current?
And let me give you the highest praise I know: I don't like mushrooms, and I find myself thinking about cooking with them, as you eloquently sing their mycological praises.
