Brocks added that the discovery was “not just the coolness of having old, pink stuff”, but also helped to solve a “very major puzzle about life” – why large, complex creatures appeared so late in the Earth’s history.

Someone's parents must be so proud... they pay $100K to put little Johnny through graduate school, and he uses that huge educational investment to find out that this microscopic molecule that only existed a billion years ago was... pink.

Cyanobacteria are a hot subject for study right now. They are responsible for "algae" blooms that produce a variety of toxins, including neurotoxins linked to neurodegenerative diseases including ALS, Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease. Some of these cyanobacteria are capable of becoming airborne, posing an inhalation threat as well.

Thanks to Brock's discovery, we now know the first colorizing agent used in kilts.
