I know most Trek fans already know all this information but when you’ve been out of the loop with Trek culture and general culture in real life … it was very surprising for me when I first realized the connection between the real world personality and the on screen Star Trek character. And they did a great job of representing the name and associating them to the work that they do.
And like the real life Stamets and the on screen Stamets, our TenForward Stamets has a habit of working their tendrils of connection deep into this community and making it stronger.
For real though, you’re absolutely a pillar of this (yes I know you made tenforward lol) and many other communities. I, for one, greatly enjoy having you around. Cheers, mate! 🍻
I mean… Stamets basically rescues what could be considered Hugh’s “soul” from the space mushroom transit network, and then the space mushroom transit network interactive entity helps the crew shove Hugh’s soul back into a meatbag regenerated from his DNA, so I’d say it’s still appropriate, just in a very different and less figurative way.

One of the biggest Star Trek names that blew my mind when I first read about it was …
Lieutenant Commander Paul Stamets, Astromycologist and Engineer
Named after the real life Paul Edward Stamets, an American mycologist and pioneer in mycology research and science
