"Natural England recently held their annual Name a Species contest, asking non-scientists to come up names for newly discovered species. And out of 10 newly-named species, one was deemed the best overall — Hotlips. The moniker belongs to the fungus species Octospora humosa, and it is the work of Rachael Blackman. She is 12 years old, and she is giving everyone hope that our younger generation still has a growing interest in nature and science."
