NFI Goes On Sabbatical

 

Nomadic Fungi Institute

During this time of lock down and political unrest the staff at NFI has chosen to suspend all public events and announcements. It is our strong belief that we, the people of America should mask up, and spend this time supporting family, friends and neighbors who need help. 

With the collapse of accountable news sources, the expanding echo chambers of conspiracies, the growing support of anti-science and the selected blindness of history, we believe truth and honesty are more important now than ever. The staff at NFI know just how easy it is to adjust the facts to better suite popular agendas. To present fables as facts and see the audience eat it up. It is in fact because of this that the staff voted to go on sabbatical. We feel that even in the sprit of a good leg pulling the spreading pseudoscience is something NFI should hold back on... at least for the moment.

So we will keep you in our hearts and minds.
