distil, distiller, still, malt, germinate. 32,000 years old silene stenophylla

One day around 32,000 years ago, an arctic ground squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, including its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended.

Its body was recovered from permafrost and examined.

Scientists germinated this plant seed.

This silene stenophylla just bloomed.

It is 32,000 years old.

"Man was born to live with his fellow human beings. Separate him, isolate him, his character will go bad, a thousand ridiculous affects will invade his heart, extravagant thoughts will germinate in his brain, like thorns in an uncultivated land."
--Suzanne Simon from MEMOIRS OF A NUN "La Religieuse" (1796) by Denis Diderot

Today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky, goes the old Scottish proverb. But after a remarkable boom in the value of single malts in recent years, economic factors may now point to stormier days ahead.

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. In addition, the growth of a sporeling from a spore, such as the growth of hyphae from fungal spores, is also germination.
