"43 Years Ago, Scientists Dropped Gophers Onto a Volcano. Today, They’re Tiny Heroes."

"After the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens devastated the local environment, scientists set a few gophers loose on some patches of ground, hoping they would kick up bacteria and fungi.

That uncovered fungi … created a microbial community that allowed plant life to better obtain and retain nutrients."

@bazcook I was a pilot living in Thompson Manitoba and remember how amazing it was to have volcanic ash from Mt. St. Helens settle on our cars that far away. 🤯. 2713 kms. #MountSaintHelens

Five or so years ago, @Chasm49 scanned and shared some old slides taken by his brother-in-law, my late lamented Uncle Wes. ...including this one, which I simultaneously think is really cool *and* am mad at Wes for risking his darn life to get. (He was fine! But he probably shouldn't have been there!) (Also I really miss him. Wes died in December of 2020 and nothing's been quite right since.)
