Diplomas in the Rain: Tennessee Grads Complete Outdoor Commencement

Two Tennessee high schools, Centennial and Franklin, held outdoor graduation ceremonies on a football field as a torrential downpour soaked graduates and families. Videos of drenched graduates circulated online, drawing criticism from parents who questioned the decision to proceed outdoors and called for a makeup ceremony, while a planned moment of silence for a deceased classmate was reportedly skipped due to the rain. School officials said forecasts and the desire to maximize attendance on campus led to the outdoor plan, though changing conditions prolonged the wet ceremonies.

Rainfall Vibrations Wake Rice Seeds, Speed Germination

MIT researchers found that submerged rice seeds exposed to the acoustic vibrations produced by falling raindrops germinate up to about 37% faster than controls, with seeds near the surface showing the strongest response. The effect is linked to statoliths and gravitropism, and the findings were published in Scientific Reports.

Soil Fungi Could Trigger Rain by Seeding Clouds with Ice-Nucleating Proteins

A Science Advances study shows soil-dwelling Mortierellaceae fungi secrete water-soluble ice-nucleating proteins that act as cloud seeds, triggering ice formation and rain even at relatively warm temperatures. This bio-precipitation loop links forest soils to atmospheric rainfall, complements bacterial ice-nucleating proteins, and arose via horizontal gene transfer from bacteria. The finding highlights the climate relevance of soil microbes and suggests natural, biodegradable options for cloud seeding while underscoring the rainfall impact of forest conservation.
