Oh, it does my heart good everytime I see the chestnut blight fungus called 
Cryphonectria parasitica.  Back in the days when it used to be Endothia, a 
certain member on my dissertation committee had kittens when my research 
conclusions supported the change to Cryphonectria.  She wanted me to 
rewrite my entire dissertation, but my major professor went to the Dean 
and had her taken off of my committee AFTER the defense.  He then 
checked into the hospital with stress-related heart pains!  What we go 
through for a Ph.D.!
