Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit!

This week I learned scientists are tracking/monitoring a mysterious fungus that appears to be EATING radiation at Chernobyl, and it turns out it might have other uses.

The mysterious black fungus from Chernobyl that may eat radiation
Mould found at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster appears to be feeding off the radiation. Could we use it to shield space travellers from cosmic rays?
