awaited.Da: Et sjældent blomsterfund satte sindene i kog.En: A rare flower discovery had set minds on fire.Da: Det var en dag, hvor Rasmus og Freja, hver med deres egen ambition, stod over for en usædvanlig udfordring.En: It was a day where Rasmus and Freja, each with their own ambition, faced an unusual challenge.Da: Rasmus var en dedikeret botaniker, der brugte det meste af sin tid blandt planternes stille skønhed.En: Rasmus was a dedicated botanist who spent most of his time among the quiet beauty of the plants.Da: Hans hjerte slog hurtigt for den nye blomst, der voksede i det frodige drivhus.En: His heart beat fast for the new flower growing in the lush greenhouse.Da: Han havde opdaget den, dokumenteret den, og følte et ansvar for dens videnskabelige værdi.En: He had discovered it, documented it, and felt a responsibility for its scientific value.Da: "Denne blomst kan ændre forståelsen af vores planter her i landet," tænkte han ofte.En: "This flower can change the understanding of our plants here in the country," he often thought.Da: På den anden side af fortovet stod Freja.En: On the other side of the sidewalk stood Freja.Da: Hendes kamera var altid med, altid klar til at indfange øjeblikkets magi.En: Her camera was always with her, always ready to capture the magic of the moment.Da: Hun havde også set blomsten først blandt de mange andre planter.En: She had also seen the flower first among the many other plants.Da: Tiltrukket af dens visuelle appel, ønskede hun at fange den for en kommende fotoudstilling.En: Attracted by its visual appeal, she wished

hinanden veje i haven mange gange, men denne dag var anderledes.En: The two had crossed paths in the garden many times, but this day was different.Da: Rasmus ønskede at gå til bestyrelsen med sine fund, mens Freja overvejede at dele sine billeder online, længe før offentligheden fik nys om dem.En: Rasmus wanted to go to the board with his findings, while Freja considered sharing her pictures online long before the public got wind of them.Da: Konflikten spredte sig mellem dem som en skygge.En: The conflict spread between them like a shadow.Da: Ingen ville give sig, for begge troede, de havde retten til at kalde blomsten deres.En: Neither wanted to give in, for both believed they had the right to call the flower their own.Da: Efterhånden som eftermiddagssolen kastede lange skygger over haven, mødtes de to ved blomsten.En: As the afternoon sun cast long shadows over the garden, the two met by the flower.Da: Deres stemmer var lave, men beslutsomme.En: Their voices were low but determined.Da: "Vi må samarbejde," sagde Rasmus pludseligt, lidt tøvende men med en vis beslutsomhed i stemmen.En: "We must collaborate," Rasmus said suddenly, a little hesitant but with a certain determination in his voice.Da: Freja nikkede, overrasket over hans forslag.En: Freja nodded, surprised by his suggestion.Da: "Vi kan vise hele verden, hvad denne blomst betyder – videnskabeligt og kunstnerisk."En: "We can show the whole world what this flower means—scientifically and artistically."Da: De besluttede sig for en fælles udstilling.En: They decided on a joint exhibition.Da: Rasmus' grundige forskning og Frejas øjenfangende fotografier kombinerede sig smukt, til en fejring af naturens under.En: Rasmus' thorough research and Freja's eye-catching photographs combined beautifully

forståelse og respekt for hinandens arbejde.En: Rasmus and Freja found a mutual understanding and respect for each other's work.Da: Da de sidste efterårsløv blæste væk, indså Rasmus værdien af Frejas kunstneriske blik.En: As the last autumn leaves blew away, Rasmus realized the value of Freja's artistic eye.Da: Og Freja, med sit kamera nu sat på pause, værdsatte Rasmus' hengivenhed til videnskaben.En: And Freja, with her camera now paused, appreciated Rasmus' devotion to science.Da: Forvandlet fra rivaler til partnere, kunne de begge smile med ægte glæde over deres succes.En: Transformed from rivals to partners, they could both smile with genuine joy over their success.Da: Og således, midt i efterårets nedfaldne løv, blomstrede en ny venskab.En: And thus, amidst the fallen leaves of autumn, a new friendship blossomed.Da: Dette var dagen, hvor videnskab og kunst fandt fælles grund, og en blomst blev et symbol på samarbejde og forståelse.En: This was the day when science and art found common ground, and a flower became a symbol of collaboration and understanding.

This month we sat down with Jon Pitt to discuss his new book "Botanical Imagination: Rethinking Plants in Modern Japan." The book spans Japanese writers and filmmakers from the 1930s to today whose works all ask a similar question: What would it mean for humans to be more like plants? Looking at the ways that this question informed critiques of colonialism and even today immigration in these works, Pitt labels how these authors take up the plasticity of plants "becoming botanical." This episode is a great companion piece to our last episode with Rachel DiNitto on Japanese Ecocinema!

Hear how Forbidden Root uses rare botanicals and fruit to craft unique beers—and how the same fruit can create different flavors.Phil Zelewsky, Head Brewer at Forbidden Root, shares how Chicago's first botanical brewery evolved from a root beer experiment into one of the top 10 brewpubs in the U.S. He explains how founder Robert Finkel sources wild ingredients like the “smuggled” Alpine botanical Génépi, Forbidden Root's approach to using “unusual but appropriate” ingredients, how to determine whether a root belongs in a beer, and how Thailand's markets and flavors inspired his ingredient mindset. He also discusses brewing with feijoa (pineapple guava) in a kettle sour, flagship beers like the strawberry basil Hefeweizen and peach witbier, the challenges of sourcing fruit with consistent flavor from one purveyor to the next.After the beer break, Phil introduces Bicycle Fire, a fruited Kveik ale brewed with hearth-grilled grapefruit and white pepper. He explains the advantages of Kveik yeast, including fast fermentation and high-temperature tolerance, and then breaks down Sláinte, a collaboration Irish Red Ale with Parlor Pizza, and shares how collaborations come together at the brewery. He also discusses the Black Phillip black IPA (a.k.a. Cascadian Dark Ale) and explains the use of their “flavor torpedo,” a device for infusing beers with hops, cherry stems, and more. Plus: Phil's “origin story” of how bartending at Merle's #1 Barbecue led to homebrewing, and eventually, to leading production at Forbidden Root.About Forbidden Root: As the first botanical brewery in Chicago (located in the West Town neighborhood), Forbidden Root's mission is to brew botanic beer, working to evoke the natural world in new and unique ways.

Botanical Imagination: Rethinking Plants in Modern Japan (Cornell University Press, 2025) explores the complicated legacy and enduring lure of plant life in modern Japanese literature and media. Using critical plant studies, Jon L. Pitt examines an unlikely group of writers and filmmakers in modern Japan, finding in their works a desire to "become botanical" in both content and form. For nearly one hundred years, a botanical imagination grew in response to moments of crisis in Japan's modern history. Pitt shows how artists were inspired to seek out botanical knowledge in order to construct new forms of subjectivity and attempt to resist certain forms of state violence. As he follows plants through the tangled histories of imperialism and state control, Pitt also uncovers the ways plants were used in the same violence that drove artists to turn to the botanical as a model of resistance in the first place. Botanical Imagination calls on us to rethink plants as significant but ambivalent actors and to turn to the botanical realm as a site of potentiality.

When a married couple ventures deep into the Pacific Northwest wilderness in search of a mythical flower, what starts as a quirky botanical quest spirals into a hallucinatory nightmare of glowing blood, eerie silence, and body horror.In Bruce Haney's A Plant Called Death, ancient legends come alive as a group of hikers stumbles upon a plant that shouldn't exist—one that changes those who touch it. What follows is a chilling descent into madness, mutation, and survival as nature itself turns against them.

What does it take to create and maintain one of the largest repositories of botanical information in the world? For starters, it can mean helicopter-ing into remote nooks of the Amazon, hiking through rough terrain, looking for strange fruits and flowers, and climbing trees to pluck specimens from the branches. Then there's all the science required to identify, classify, and codify those species. Botanists Lúcia Lohmann and Charlotte Taylor join Host Flora Lichtman to discuss their work discovering new plant species and maintaining the storied Missouri Botanical Garden.And, what does it mean to be a superfood? What is the science of micronutrient-dense foods like millet, which get less hype than foods like açaí, goji berries, and quinoa? Flora talks with biological engineer Kiruba Krishnaswamy, who puts food under a microscope—literally—and studies the nutrients that help make our bodies function, in hopes of harnessing them to fight hunger worldwide.Guests: Dr. Lúcia Lohmann, professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and president and director of the Missouri Botanical GardenDr. Charlotte Taylor, botanist and senior curator at the Missouri Botanical Garden Dr. Kiruba Krishnaswamy, assistant professor in the Colleges of Engineering and Agriculture at the University of MissouriTranscript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

A richly illustrated account of how premodern botanical illustrations document evolving knowledge about plants and the ways they were studied in the past. Botanical Icons: Critical Practices of Illustration in the Premodern Mediterranean (U Chicago Press, 2024) traces the history of botanical illustration in the Mediterranean from antiquity to the early modern period. By examining Greek, Latin, and Arabic botanical inquiry in this early era, Andrew Griebeler shows how diverse and sophisticated modes of plant depiction emerged and ultimately gave rise to practices now recognized as central to modern botanical illustration. The author draws on centuries of remarkable and varied documentation from across Europe and the Mediterranean. Lavishly illustrated, Botanical Icons marshals ample evidence for a dynamic and critical tradition of botanical inquiry and nature observation in the late antique and medieval Mediterranean. The author reveals that many of the critical practices characteristic of modern botanical illustrations began in premodern manuscript culture. Consequently, he demonstrates that the distinctions between pre- and early modern botanical illustration center more on the advent of print, the expansion of collections and documentation, and the narrowing of the range of accepted forms of illustration than on the invention of critical and observational practices exclusive to modernity. Griebeler's emphasis on continuity, intercultural collaboration, and the gradual transformation of Mediterranean traditions of critical botanical illustration persuasively counters previously prevalent narratives of rupture and Western European exceptionalism in the histories of art and science. New Books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Andrew Griebeler is assistant professor in the depart of Art, Art History and Visual Studies at Duke University. With students and other faculty at Duke, he is also helping to document the legacy of the Duke Herbarium on Instagram (@bluedevil.herbarium) before its closure by the university.

In this episode, herbalist and Ayurvedic practitioner Jo Webber joins Robin Harford to explore how Ayurveda — the world's oldest system of natural health — can be rooted in the wild plants of Britain.Together, they unpack the Ayurvedic concepts of the five elements, the three doshas, and the six tastes — and how these ancient principles can guide your modern life, food choices, and foraging practice.Jo shares how local herbs like nettle, dandelion and wild garlic can be powerful food medicines, how foraging supports physical and emotional balance, and why bioindividuality is key to healing.This is a lively, grounded conversation blending Eastern philosophy with native plants, seasonal eating, and self-care rooted in the land.Links & Resources:Visit Jo's course at: www.theayurvedaacademy.comFollow Jo and her work on Instagram: @theayurvedaacademyLearn more about Robin: www.eatweeds.co.ukMentioned books:Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker Quiet by Susan CainIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing it with a friend — especially someone curious about the intersection of traditional medicine, foraging, and seasonal wellbeing.

Botanical Icons: Critical Practices of Illustration in the Premodern Mediterranean (U Chicago Press, 2024) traces the history of botanical illustration in the Mediterranean from antiquity to the early modern period. By examining Greek, Latin, and Arabic botanical inquiry in this early era, Andrew Griebeler shows how diverse and sophisticated modes of plant depiction emerged and ultimately gave rise to practices now recognized as central to modern botanical illustration. The author draws on centuries of remarkable and varied documentation from across Europe and the Mediterranean. Lavishly illustrated, Botanical Icons marshals ample evidence for a dynamic and critical tradition of botanical inquiry and nature observation in the late antique and medieval Mediterranean. The author reveals that many of the critical practices characteristic of modern botanical illustrations began in premodern manuscript culture. Consequently, he demonstrates that the distinctions between pre- and early modern botanical illustration center more on the advent of print, the expansion of collections and documentation, and the narrowing of the range of accepted forms of illustration than on the invention of critical and observational practices exclusive to modernity. Griebeler's emphasis on continuity, intercultural collaboration, and the gradual transformation of Mediterranean traditions of critical botanical illustration persuasively counters previously prevalent narratives of rupture and Western European exceptionalism in the histories of art and science. New Books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Andrew Griebeler is assistant professor in the depart of Art, Art History and Visual Studies at Duke University. With students and other faculty at Duke, he is also helping to document the legacy of the Duke Herbarium on Instagram (@bluedevil.herbarium) before its closure by the university.

Joel Stanley is the CEO of Ajna Biosciences, a company developing the next generation of botanical medicines. These full-spectrum drugs, derived from plants and fungi, are regulated and approved through the FDA, unlike dietary supplements. Lead drug candidates are targeting autism, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. With expertise in cultivating and scaling the production of botanical raw materials, Ajna is creating a sustainable model compared to wild-harvested botanicals. Joel explains, "It's no secret that before about a hundred years ago, all of our medicines were botanical medicines, or mostly coming from plants, or maybe mushrooms. And in the last century, as we developed Western medicine - modern medicine - the drug approval process started to learn how to synthesize molecules and isolate molecules from nature. So we started to step completely away from plant medicine and into a synthetic pharmaceutical landscape. The FDA fairly recently started allowing botanical drugs. So what that means is that it's full-spectrum medicines coming from the given root, shrub, leaf, flower, or mushroom. Those would be botanical drugs. So botanical drugs are not single-compound botanically derived drugs, which make up about 20% of our pharmaceuticals. They're a full-spectrum plant extract, a botanical drug from a regulatory standpoint." "So, plant-based therapeutics can mean dietary supplements that do not go through clinical trials. They're not legally prescribed by doctors and generally not covered by insurance. Whereas botanical drugs go through the FDA drug approval process, rigorous clinical trials against placebo control to become FDA approved, covered by insurance, and legally prescribable. So that's really what sets what we're doing, creating botanical drugs, apart from what people have considered plant medicine this last century." "Our most advanced drug in our pipeline is called AJA001, and it's very special to me because I've been basically working on this drug for more than 15 years. It's made in partnership with my previous company. I was the first CEO of a company called Charlotte's Web, which was really the first, and it's still the largest CBD brand out there. It was everything we learned at Charlotte's Web that kind of prompted me to start Ajna BioSciences four years ago. And that first drug is made from full-spectrum hemp, so it is CBD dominant, and it does have other cannabinoids, such as THC, as well as other minor cannabinoids. It also has certain terpenes." #AjnaBiosciences #BotanicalMedicine #PlantBasedTherapeutics #PharmaInnovation #DrugDevelopment #NaturalMedicine #BioTech ajnabiosciences.com Download the transcript here

At the base of Colorado's Grand Mesa, the world's largest flat-top mountain, five generations of fruit growers have worked the land. Today, Snow Capped Cider carries on that legacy, crafting estate-grown ciders from fruit nurtured at elevations between 6,130 and 7,000 feet. The high desert sun, volcanic soil, and pure snowmelt water combine to create vibrant apples and distinctive ciders. From Hobby to Heritage What began as a small experiment soon blossomed into a full-fledged cidery. Sparked by a disappointing store-bought cider, Kari Williams and her family leaned into their winemaking background and deep orchard knowledge to create cider reflective of their exceptional terroir. Kari Williams Cider Making at High Elevation At Snow Capped Cider: Only estate-grown fruit is used. Over 100 acres are dedicated to cider-specific apple varieties. The extreme UV exposure at high elevation leads to apples with higher sugars, acids, and tannins, setting the stage for rich, complex ciders. Managing a shorter growing season, spring frost risks, and labor-intensive frost protection methods has shaped their unique approach to farming and fermenting. A Range of Styles Snow Capped produces: 16 canned ciders distributed across four states. 54 distinct bottled ciders, from single varietals like Kingston Black and Harrison to blends featured in the Elevation Series. Botanical infusions and experimental ferments, all handled with precision and passion. Their Gold Rush cider, a blend of French and English apples, showcases the vibrant flavors that their terroir imparts — a naturally complex, award-winning cider approachable for all levels of cider drinkers. Where to Find Snow Capped Cider Ciders are available via: Retail in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and California Online at VinoShipper Their exclusive cider club offering small-batch, estate ciders.

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Senior Editor and co-host emeritus Alan Rozenshtein and Lawfare Executive Editor Natalie Orpett to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Lowering the Bar.” Last week, the Trump administration took aim at two leading law firms—Covington & Burling and Perkins Coie—by repealing lawyers' security clearances and setting limits on the extent to which government actors can contract with them, on the apparent grounds that they worked for Trump's perceived enemies. Is this legal? Will it be challenged? And what will the effect be on the legal industry?“Big Math on Campus.” The Trump administration recently announced its intent to withhold $400 million in government grants from Columbia University, on the grounds that it had not done enough to combat anti-semitism on campus—a measure it paired with an indication that it would repeal student visas from those who had expressed “pro-Hamas” views. Is this tack a proper or legally sustainable one? And what impact will it have on academic communities in the United States?“Nothing Is Certain but Death and Ta…Well, at Least Death.” After temporarily delaying tariffs on Canada and Mexico after 48 hours last month, President Trump assured everyone that they were definitely getting installed this month. But once again, after a few days, he rescinded many of them. Nonetheless, the uncertainty surrounding this administration's policies has markets spooked, triggering fears of a recession—something President Trump has indicated people may just have to live through. What are the real costs and benefits of Trump's oscillating trade policies?In object lessons, Alan went full nerd and prescribed himself a decade-long literary exile with “Gardens of the Moon,” the first in Steven Erikson's ten-book epic. Scott's old ass, meanwhile, threw its weight behind “My Old Ass,” a film about a young woman navigating family, love, and self-discovery—all with a little hallucinogenic assistance. And Natalie logrolled like a pro, plugging Quinta Jurecic's guest spot on The Ezra Klein Show, where Quinta delivers one of Natalie's all-time favorite “Quintaisms”—with all the necessary context baked right in.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The ZENERGY Podcast: Climate Leadership, Finance and Technology
Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Host Karan Takhar sits down with Terry Paule, CEO of Botanical Water Technologies to discuss how he stumbled into the idea of turning fruit and vegetable waste into water, just how much water can be extracted from these fruits and vegetables, and how vital it is for communities in need. They look at the average amount of water a single person uses to drink and cook on any given day and how Microsoft has teamed up with Botanical Water Technologies to create 60 million liters of water to gift to communities as a way to offset the water they are using in data centers. Terry shares what you and I can do to help support the mission of bringing clean water and sanitation to those in need and lets us in on some staggering statistics, including how 40% of the world does not have access to clean water at any given point. If you'd like to learn ways you can help with such a pressing and important need, visit www.wegrowwater.com for more information about Botanical Water Technologies' efforts.
