Hey Plant People! I'm SO excited about today's episode. Paige Boyle is a Presidential Doctoral Research Fellow at Utah State, an advocate for Women in STEM, a self-proclaimed "earthworm whisperer," and a wonderful human. We talked about her experiences in graduate school, how completely freaking WILD earthworms are, how to plug in as a graduate student (and important it is to be able to say now), and what's it's like to be a woman in a STEM field. It was so much chatting with her and I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation!

What's up, Plant People?! I'm so excited for you to hear today's episode! I had the chance to interview Dr. Erica Irlbeck and Kelsi Opat (twice...you'll hear more about that in the episode) from the Texas Tech Department of Agricultural Education and Communications. We talked about how to address distance education, changes that may be coming in academia, how to be effective communicators, and an interesting concept known as "The Nerd Shield." I think you're going to love it. Give it a listen and leave me a review to let me know what you think!

What's up plant people? I recorded the episode with my friends Amber Bates and Kaylee Deck of Grove Hill Farms like 1000 years ago, and I can't wait for you to hear it! Their business is a super rad agrotourism operation in North Texas and was such a beautiful place to record. I got to sit in Amber's dining room in her home on the farm and catch up with these two wonderful humans. Make sure you go check out Grove Hill Farms if you're ever in the Dallas metroplex or in North Texas (or Southern Oklahoma, for that matter)! You won't regret it!!

Hey, what's up Plant People? I hope everyone is doing well during these wild times we're in. I can't wait for you to hear today's episode. My guest, Dr. Jessica Tullar Caroom, is an epidemiologist and public health professional, community activist and organizer, leader of an organization that addresses hunger through gardening efforts, and the founder of a school garden movement in Lubbock. She's brilliant, insightful, and funny, and we dive deep into some of the issues surrounding health and wellness and how we might be able to address those things with horticulture and education.

Article on how overweight and undernourished is the new public health concern.

I should come up with good show notes for this, but it's late, and my brain is tired, and there's this pandemic thing going down. Just listen in to me talk about plant stuff, struggle with technology, and answer some questions!

Hey, everyone! Super nerdy bonus episode coming at you! I'll be posting the recording of my first live show, Plants in Sci-Fi and Fantasy, from Lubbock-Con 2020 a couple of weeks ago! Tune in tomorrow for my thoughts on world building, Tolkien, weird blue aliens, and, like, so much Sam Gamgee. It was a lot of fun and I think you'll really enjoy it! Prepare yourself for a whole different kind of plant nerdiness!
