Denzil has been described as the 'Sherlock Holmes' of plants. Denzil has over 40 years of experience in the plant aromatic field and trips to every corner of the world.  His experience is extraordinary, but its his perspective of both the plant and human world is that we dive into in this conversation.

In our conversation with Denzil we discuss a variety of topics:

• How he overcame dyslexia and used it as a strength.
• His process of how he accepts projects.
• Why he never completed his phd, even after pursuing it 3 times.
• His thoughts on reshaping the academic system

Memorable Quotes:

"I think Covid has proved one thing beyond doubt, the physical world of university is no longer needed.. its the social world of a university that matters. Meeting people at bars... you should be able to sign up for sing courses.. take one at University of Oregon, another at University of London, all online."

"When I was young I always used to ask the professor (of major universities) if I can join you lecture... there is nothing stopping you from going into a lecture at Harvard, and asking, you mind if I sit in the back and listen?"
