“Love your pod.
One gripe. No discussion of Darwin's ecological ideas are complete without a mention of Alexander von Humboldt, as Darwin was obsessed with him, and he basically invented ecology in the western world.
My obsession is the plant genus Plantago, which is widely misunderstood and oversimplified. There are many native species in North America, contrary to what is widely thought, and many of the P. major images on the web are actually of the native P. rugelii. Plantago species are endemic throughout the world, from Australia to the peaks of Hawaii, and fill important roles in the ecology of the places they grow. Take for example P. erecta. Would you like to go into the magic of an overlooked genus? That would be great. I don't know who the expert would be, but I want to study these plants to the ends of the earth.”Read full review »

“I honestly don’t know how I stumbled upon this podcast, but I’m so glad I did! I am a scientist - I work with infectious diseases transmitted by insects. I used to think plants were static and sort of dry. But I was so wrong. I am now obsessed with plant science, the dynamic and clever diversity,...”Read full review »
