Watching the wonderful Linnean Society lecture on spiral phyllotaxis by @sandyheth.bsky.social
It turns out fibonacci spiral phyllotaxis could be a relatively modern feature among plants, with lycophytes being the living fossil still maintaining non-fibonacci spiral phyllotaxis. Fascinating! 🧪

The creepy Joshua Project is an evangelical group with Pence connections with a huge database of "unreached peoples" "prime for conversion to Christianity." They have tons of language data from missionaries that nobody else has.
Anyway, I stole all of it. Here's one off-putting visualization

Spiral phyllotaxis in the moss Physcomitrium patens emerges from simple division rules of the apical cell
Cammarata et al. explore how cell division orientation generates phyllotaxis in moss
with a unicellular meristem. They show that successive rotational divisions in the
apical cell are precisely placed...
