Sure, it takes a process of billions of years that spans the cosmos for the nuclear fusion process inside stars to create the preponderance of elements we have today. But what if we light some on fire and blow them up? That'd be cool!

Thank you @joshuamalina.bsky.social for your beautiful words to kick off our super-early tu b’shvat seder! If you’re ever in Boston for tu b’shvat, consider yourself invited. I’d like to think this was a cameo first for you. We were all delighted. Some good fruit for thought there. #cameo #dvar
