Huh, I've never considered estimating the weight of my hands, but after reading I can see the importance/application.

This has been happening to me for like two weeks.

That really sucks, it's not cool that they took you on as a student when they knew they'd be looking to leave the university. The closest comparison I have is I had a classmate whose PI left the university and offered to take her, but she decided to master out instead. It didn't affect her career and was ultimately a great move.

I think it's normal that you'd have trouble trusting them again and you should probably consider your options. Can you transfer to another lab in your department? Alternatively, you said you went through all the trouble to travel and apply at the new university. Can you still go and just pick a new lab there? If you're post-candidacy/quals/etc, they should hopefully respect that and maybe it can accelerate your track.

Well, did she have any?

Sweet! There are some additional more specific arthropod communities (arachnids and myriapods off the top of my head) on mander.xyz if anyone is looking.

What the heck -- my popcorn is sprouting???

I've heard of this happening occasionally with cooked brown rice, so I guess it's not out of the question! My guess is that the corn will probably wilt and die before it gets big enough to poke holes in the bag. Are you using any lights? Leaving it in the dark at this stage might help discourage corn growth. But keep us posted on what happens
