Hooked on Science

In this episode, Julija talks with Ethan Ley, a Master's student studying Agronomy and Plant Genetics at the University of Minnesota, about his weed science research (not THAT kind of weed). They chat about the importance of managing weeds in agricultural systems, what happens to herbicides over time, and some of the innovations that have come about because of weeds!

In this episode, Julija chats with Dr. Vikram Baliga, who you may know from Planthrolopology, about his PhD research on urban landscape water conservation and a whole bunch about water in general. They talk about why there should be a scale for when there's too much water, how crops can spontaneously combust, and whether clickbait is the best way to communicate scientific information... we could probably just call this one story time with Vikram.
