It's time to learn about how plants defend themselves! This episode will give you a peek under the hood so that you can understand why plants behave the way they do in the face of biotic and abiotic sources of stress.We talk about how plants defend against sucking and chewing insects, including releasing chemicals that make them less appetising and even call in predatory friends to eat their aggressors, as well as how they buckle down and survive harsh environmental conditions like temperature and nutrient deficiencies.EPISODE LINKSKatia Plant Scientist:-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrTJmyTzyGzm46Ncq9JNUYQ-https://m.facebook.com/Katiaplantscientist/-https://www.instagram.com/katia_plantscientist/?hl=en-https://www.linkedin.com/in/katia-hougaard-19b169100/Find horticulture industry jobs: HortPeople.comFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comLET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?

Rhee talks about her Michigan roots, and she describes how she “serendipitously” became passionate about plant science. “MSU is one of the best places to do plant research, if not the best. The people and the reputation attracted me." During the interview process, she was impressed with the MSU culture that included a graduate student, a postdoc, and an assistant faculty member on the search committee. "I was really impressed with the early-career scientists. There's a sense of excitement, passion, and interaction at MSU which was all super cool.” Rhee talks about the key issues in plant science. “Understanding how plants work is an important aspect of trying to come up with innovative solutions to many of today's issues. That doesn't mean just growing food better, but we can also think of plants as potential factories for sourcing materials and chemicals. We are entering an era of manufacturing from biology. It's not just plants; microbes would play a big role. Having a better understanding of plants will help in so many ways. They are the biggest part of our ecosystem.” Sue describes the mission of the Plant Resilience Institute she'll lead at MSU. “The mission is to be a premier institute for conducting outstanding plant research, especially in how plants can be resilient against adverse environmental conditions. We study plant resilience from many angles ranging from the ecosystem level down to single molecule molecular level.” Rhee is the founding director of The Arabidopsis Information Resource — one of the most heavily used online resources for plant scientists — and was instrumental in making the Gene Ontology system work for plants.       “It became one of the most popular databases used for research today. It's probably the best-used plant resource today 20 years after its inception. “I think basic science will drive our future economy. A lot of the inventions and technologies we benefit from today have come from basic science. Basic science in plant biology was responsible for the green revolution that ended up saving hundreds of millions of people using tools like breeding. Today, plant scientists are using tools like plant genome engineering to be able to manipulate plants even more precisely. But knowing what to engineer and manipulate is where the basic science comes in. We have to understand how these organisms work and what controls the traits that we want to improve.  “That's where basic science can really triumph. It allows us to understand how things work. And then we can figure out how to invent things. Without knowing how things work, we can't invent. “One of the reasons I'm excited about MSU is because it's a land grant university and there are thriving extension programs. Michigan has a lot of different types of growers, and there's a lot of interesting industry. I'm very excited about plant science, but also about food and environmental justice and learning from my new MSU colleagues.” MSU Today airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 5 a.m. on WKAR News/Talk and Sundays at 8 p.m. on 760 WJR.

For Hope Jones' first cannabis job, she served as chief science officer for a grower in Arizona. But as a newbie to the industry, she lacked the confidence to speak out against veterans making easy-to-avoid mistakes, despite her expertise. As frustration built, she saw an opportunity to bring clean-tissue culture to an industry struggling to get solid genetics. Today, the plant biologist operates two companies – a consulting firm focused on plant health and an R&D company that develops tissue-culture genetics. In this episode, Hope shares: How she realized the need for better genetics in cannabis. How her experience as a staff scientist at NASA helped her build her self-confidence. Why good business partners need more than common goals to succeed. Why tissue culture is a solid starting point for quality biomass to support the entire cannabis supply chain. Who is Hope Jones? Hope Jones is a veteran plant scientist who immersed herself in the plant world long before jumping into cannabis. Her experience includes staff scientist at NASA, where she helped grow plants in outer space; a tenure at the University of Arizona's world-renowned Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, where she used her extensive micropropagation skills and knowledge to rescue endangered plant species; and a stint as a bartender, which she credits for her ability to connect with people. She launched her first cannabis company, Phoenix-based Emergent Cannabis Sciences, in 2016, and her second, Superior Phenos, in 2020.

Stacey graduated with honors from the 2nd overall class of the Chicago High School for Agricultural Science and went on to pursue her studies at the University of Illinois in Champaign.  In the 90's Plant Biotechnology was so new, that the University did not have a degree program for it, so she ultimately studies Plant Sciences, but went on to work for the Monsanto Company and became one of the first of a handful of African American women to work in Plant Biotechnology professionally as a Senior Research Scientist.Stacey went on to switch careers after pursuing a MBA with an emphasis in Organizational Development from Washington University in St. Louis, to work at helping people re-brand and re-position themselves after career loss, as an Executive Job Coach in outplacement and Director of Career Services in Higher Education. She is a graduate of the Joseph Business School, founded by Dr. Bill Winston. Stacey is also the author of The 28th Chapter, and is now the Founder/Farmer In Chief of Sweet Potato Patch and Patchwerkz - Chicago, a faithful member of Apostolic Church of God in Woodlawn.

Hello! Welcome to episode one series THREE! of Prompted by Nature. It's so lovely to be back and speaking with some amazing people who I know you will love. A few updates from me before we start. Things have been busy on this side of things as Benfield Valley Project becomes an official CCG (regular listeners will know this story but you can catch up with the goings-on with this in most of my solo episodes), and I've also been getting more involved with the Climate Change pressure group Parents for Future. I'm also really excited that I'm going to be launching my Patreon very soon! This is something I've toyed with the idea of for a while; I knew I wanted to begin to create more of a community around the podcast and the work that I do on my website, social media and in my online and in-person sessions but really wasn't sure how it would work. I'll be using Patreon as more of a membership platform so look out for all the information in my newsletter, the first of which I'll be sending out next week (sign up via my website), and on social media and I'll go into a bit more detail about the offerings in the next episode. Due to all of this, I've decided that episodes will be released every two weeks rather than every week, just to give myself a bit of breathing space. I'm so excited about upcoming conversations and am so happy to be back at it again after a lengthier break than I had anticipated! So back to today's conversation. Today I speak with the wonderful Rebecca Lazarou, otherwise known as Las the Plant Scientist. Rebecca is a medicinal plant researcher at Kew Gardens, an editor for the academic Journal of Herbal Medicine, science teacher at schools of herbalism including Botonica, a writer and educator. She is also the proud founder of Laz The Plant Scientist, an educational platform for holistic wellness, science and plant medicines and where she'll soon be offering her gorgeous botanical creations. In this conversation we talk about: What a Plant Scientist is and how she came to study Ancient Greek Medicines at Kew Garden Research around psychedelics How she came to do what she does Awe and her work How she came to work with Kew The importance of creating a record of quality for plant medicines The importance of connection to indigenous wisdom and the land in plant sciences The part that her own creativity plays in her work How she grounds her energy and uses visualisation in her day Plants to help with your creativity Her hope for the future What she has learnt that she would like you to know You can find Rebecca on Instagram @laztheplantscientist and sign up for her newsletter over on her website www.rebeccalazarou.com As always you can find me over on Instagram @prompted.by.nature or on my website www.promptedbynature.co.uk where you can find all the details of my upcoming in-person outdoor creative writing sessions and creativity day retreats as well as my online versions of these offerings. My Thursday evening session is the highlight of my week and I'm considering starting another Monday night one. Please do join in when you can.

Professor Dale Sanders has spent much of his life studying plants, seeking to understand why some thrive in a particular environment while others struggle. His ground breaking research on their molecular machinery showed how plants extract nutrients from the soil and store essential elements. Since plants can’t move, their survival depends on these responses. In 2020, after 27 years at the University of York, he became the Director of the John Innes Centre in Norwich, one of the premier plant research institutions in the world. Meeting the food needs of a growing global population as the climate changes is a major challenge. And, Dale says, it’s not only about maximising yields. We need crops that are more resilient and more nutritious. Drought resistant crop varieties, for example. And zinc-rich white rice. Dale talks to Jim about how plant science is helping to feed the world in a sustainable way and why plant scientists don’t always get the recognition they deserve. Producer: Anna Buckley

How the $2 Trillion in Pandemic Relief Is Supposed to Help the Economy (0:31)Guest: Richard Evans, PhD, Associate Director and Senior Lecturer, Master's Program in Computational Social Science, University of ChicagoCongress has so far approved a little more than $2-trillion in stimulus and relief to deal with the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, but will it be enough? How Much Do We Actually Know About Medical Marijuana? (18:02)Guest: Staci Gruber, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery Program at McLean Hospital.Marijuana use for medicinal purposes is now the norm in America – all but a few states allow it. And in 11 states, it's legal for adults to use marijuana recreationally – no doctor's note required. But we still know very little about how cannabis affects the body and brain. This is a case of policy outpacing science. Growing Lettuce (And Other Food) in Space (34:51)Guest: Gioia Massa, PhD, Plant Scientist, NASA Kennedy Space Center, Veggie Project Lead NASA is working on sending humans back to the moon and then onto Mars in the next decade.  Gioia Massa is working on making sure the astronauts who go on those long space missions have fresh produce in their diet. How to Protect Your Children From Accidental Poisoning (50:39)Guest: Sadiqa Kendi MD, Medical Director, Safe Kids DC and Children's National Safety Center at Children's National HospitalParents working at home all day with little kids underfoot is a tricky situation. It's impossible to keep a close eye on them at every moment. So these pandemic quarantines may boost the risk of kids getting into medicines. During normal times, a kid with accidental medicine poisoning shows up in an emergency room somewhere in America every ten minutes. Immune Booster Myths (1:06:54)Guest: Alice Knoedler, M.D., Fellow in the Division of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology, University of Virginia School of MedicineWe're all trying to stay healthy right now. Is there anything that can boost the immune system's ability to fight off infection?

Exhausted contestants sprint to the finish mat at the bottom of the world. No one expects to be greeted by a tall man in a black suit and tie and a serious look surrounded by hundreds of sheep. The fate of each couple lies in the words about to come from his eldest son’s mouth. He’s mostly known by reality TV fans as the greeter of The Amazing Race 13 in New Zealand. And had his 15 seconds of fame with the following line, “Hi, I’m Phil’s dad, Welcome to New Zealand.” He’s known Phil longer than anyone, except his Mum. He's the reason Phil has a lust for travel, adventure, and meeting people. In this podcast, Phil’s Dad gives him some fatherly words of advice and reminds him why it's important to remember his humble Kiwi roots.

For those of you lucky enough to have outdoor space that you put your houseplants in for the warm summer months, this episode is for you! There comes the time with that first snap of fall weather, when we realize the lovely Summer is over and it’s time to bring our plants back indoors, to protect them from the upcoming cold months. But there is an art to this transition. It isn’t as simple as just grabbing the pot and sticking it on your kitchen table. So Chris from The Sill joins me to break down exactly what the two week process of transitioning your plants back indoors looks like.

I’m very excited to welcome back Chris Satch to the show! Chris is the Plant Scientist and Head of Education at The Sill (www.thesill.com) and is my go to guy for any plant issues I have with my personal collection. The Sill is an amazing plant shop located in Chinatown, NY that not only sells plants, but also hosts monthly educational events and ships potted plants nationwide. I got a lot of requests this winter for an episode on grow lights, and took some time to think about who I wanted my guest to be. I knew that Chris was the perfect person to help break down the science of grow lights because… I don’t really know anything about them! If you listened to Episode 07 with Olena from @TheOperatingSystem when she mentioned her grow lamps, I actually had to ask her what they were because I had no idea you could use light bulbs to help your houseplants grow. How far I’ve come in such a short time! This is a very special episode for Bloom and Grow Radio because it’s the first episode I’ve crowd sourced my listeners for their recommendations on which grow lights THEY use. The first half of the episode is my interview with Chris and the second half is my roundup of all of the recommended bulbs and companies that you all have found success with. Also… DISCOUNTS! I was able to reach out to several of your recommended companies and they have offered special exclusive discounts for Bloom and Grow listeners- so stay tuned till the end to hear about these special offers! If you are interested in learning more about photosynthesis or indoor grow light… this episode is for you! If you want to know what lights other successful plant parents are using and are interested in discounts on some of them… this episode is for you! In this episode we learn: - What photosynthesis is - Why photosynthesis is necessary for a plant - How light appears to the human eye and what it is broken down into - Difference between red, blue, yellow, orange green light and why plants need each type of light - What can happen to a plant if it’s not given a full spectrum of light - Is the Kelvin scale actually important? - The different types of grow lamps and which work best - Crowdsourcing! Which lights and companies you Bloom and Grow plant people are loving! - Discounts! Special discounts for Bloom and Grow Radio listeners from companies you guys have recommended! List of plants that YOU are loving! Modern Sprout (www.modsprout.com) is offering 10% off for Bloom and Grow listeners with https://www.modsprout.com/discount/B&G10 or using B&G10 at checkout. They have two grow light products, the Growbar (which I am currently installing in my bookshelf!) and their Grow House. Their LED lights are full spectrum and have a soft white light and at its highest light, because you can adjust how strong it is, it’s 4500 lumens! The lifespan of their lights runs up to 12 years and the lights produce little heat and are water resistant. My favorite thing about them is they have a 3 setting timer that dims to mimic dawn and dusk and you can set to 8, 12 r 16 hours. Soltech Solutions (https://soltechsolutionsllc.com/) is offering 15% off for Bloom and Grow Radio listeners with the discount code BloomandGrow15. (They are currently having a 30% sale on their website and the Bloom and Grow discount can be applied ON TOP of ther 30%- so that’s 45% total!). They use wide spectrum LED lights that range from 2100 to 4200 lumens (depending on size) and appear soft white and mimic the sun. The lights look real sexy and have a modern, minimalist design that you can install in a variety of ways and come in two sizes. The feature that excites me the most about Soltech Solutions is their beautifully designed industrial floor lamp stands that are adjustable in height. They are perfectly suited for an indoor tree, like my lime tree I'm always talking about, or a fiddle leaf fig or other popular taller indoor plants. Diane from @howtosucculents who was on Episode 3 of the show, @walt_1990, @thelittlestpinecone and @fuccing_succs all say they use the t5 florescent tubes. Olena of @theoperatingsystem who was on Episode 07 shared the lights she uses with me: http://amzn.to/2rOewC2 (she likes the following two bulbs for the arc of they light they provide) http://amzn.to/2DIAesF http://amzn.to/2FuAY5f http://amzn.to/2rSpRRw Alessia of @apartmentbotanist who is one of my #plantfriendsIRL also sent me her list of lights she loves: http://amzn.to/2rTTXo6 (she uses these in her grow tank she created) http://amzn.to/2DOrKEN (she likes these because they easily clip to various surfaces around her apartment) Go forth and illuminate your worlds as you see fit! #keepblooming and #keepgrowing

In this recording, we learn that Bob, the unassuming plant scientist and South Bristol raconteur once wrote regularly for the New York Times, almost got into a fight with an Hasidim Lothario, terrified the State Department by dirt-bombing a Chinese dignitary, and had nightmares about Ninja paratroopers. Then there was the Pony Express tire delivery service that probably didn't save taxpayers even if it was an ingenious idea at the time... You know--the usual stuff we've come to expect from Bob.
