Dr. Shivas Amin, Associate Professor of Biology and Project Director of the HSI Stem Grant at University of St. Thomas – Houston, and Bridget Richardson discuss how, during the stay-at-home order, people should grow something in their backyard. They discuss the Querida Amazonia, Pope Francis’ Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation, and how we can relate that to our understanding of respect for nature. Dr. Amin also shares about the UST Pocket Prairie on campus.
