I would have loved getting a phd in plant pathology.
Well, I think that would have been very useful here, interpreting certain brain-dead vegetables. You'd need to specialise in the simple ones, like moss.

Incidentally, a recent audit of UK state-owned assets turned up (among other oddities) an apple tree grown from a cutting of the one in Newton's mother's garden... i.e., the one *the* apple allegedly fell from.
The audit valued it as 'priceless'... LOL.
