That's What I Call Science!

Episode 203: Translating for plants and people


Listen Later

How do we understand how stressed a plant is, or decide when it needs water? First, we need to ask, then we need to translate. Originally from Morocco, having studied in France and now in Tasmania, Dr Ibrahim Bourbia speaks many languages of plants and people and shares his journey to plant science + experience and advice for moving countries for research. Join Dr Kate Johnson to hear how Ibrahim uses cameras to understand how plants use and lose water, which will help farmers decide when to irrigate their crops and more.
