Abstract

This memoir takes a whimsical ride through my professional adventures, spotlighting my fungal stress research on the insect-pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii, which transformed many of my wildest dreams into reality. Imagine the magic of fungi meeting science and me, a happy researcher, arriving at Utah State University ready to dive deep into studies with the legendary insect pathologist, my advisor Donald W. Roberts, and my co-advisor Anne J. Anderson. From my very first "Aha!" moment in the lab, I plunged into a vortex of discovery, turning out research like a mycelium on a mission. Who knew 18 h/day, seven days a week, could be so exhilarating? I was fueled by an insatiable curiosity, boundless creativity, and a perhaps slightly alarming level of motivation. Years later, I managed to bring my grandest vision to life: the International Symposium on Fungal Stress-ISFUS. This groundbreaking event has attracted 162 esteemed speakers from 29 countries to Brazil, proving that fungi can be both fun and globally fascinating. ISFUS is celebrating its fifth edition in 2024, a decade after its 2014 debut.

Metarhizium robertsii 的菌丝意识如何让它的分生孢子禅定地应对压力。
这本回忆录以异想天开的方式讲述了我的职业冒险经历,重点介绍了我对昆虫致病真菌 Metarhizium robertsii 的真菌胁迫研究,这项研究将我许多最狂野的梦想变成了现实。想象一下真菌与科学相遇的魔力,我,一个快乐的研究人员,来到犹他州立大学,准备与传奇的昆虫病理学家、我的导师唐纳德-罗伯茨(Donald W. Roberts)和我的合作导师安妮-安德森(Anne J. Anderson)一起深入研究。从我在实验室的第一个 "啊哈!"时刻开始,我就陷入了发现的漩涡,像一个执行任务的菌丝体一样进行研究。谁能想到每周 7 天、每天 18 小时的工作会如此令人兴奋?永不满足的好奇心、无穷无尽的创造力,还有可能有点令人震惊的积极性,都为我提供了动力。多年后,我成功地实现了自己最宏伟的愿景:真菌应激国际研讨会(ISFUS)。这一开创性的活动吸引了来自 29 个国家的 162 位德高望重的演讲者来到巴西,证明了真菌既可以是有趣的,也可以是令人着迷的。ISFUS将于2024年迎来第五届会议,距离2014年首次举办已经过去了十年。
