I'm not sure if you know this, but I think plants are pretty cool. My guest for today's episode, Dr. Chris Martine, thinks Plants Are Cool Too! Chris is a Professor of Plant Genetics and Research, Associate Department Chair of Biology, and Director of the Manning Herbarium at Bucknell University. He's also a science communicator, musician, past (and present?) actor, and the host and creator of the fantastic Plants Are Cool Too YouTube channel! Chris and I talked about his past and experience, the ins and outs of being faculty at different kinds of universities, research, education, mentoring, conservation, and so many other things! Chris is an empathetic and enthusiastic educator and his students are lucky to have him!

What's up, y'all! Sorry I've been a little absent lately. My life got super busy for a few minutes and I needed a couple of weeks to reboot. New full episodes start up again next week, but check this quick update out to learn more about Podchaser's #Reviews4Good campaign. Podchaser is donating 25 cents to World Central Kitchen (supporting Ukrainian refugees) for every podcast or episode review left on the side throughout the month of April. Buzzsprout (my podcast host) will be matching those donations and I'll be matching any donations left for Planthropology! Hit the link below, leave me a rating and review, and let's raise some money to help those displaced by the war in Ukraine!

Trees and forests are incredibly important in our lives. From the natural landscape to the ones we manufacture for ourselves, forests provide food, habitat, shade, recreation, and powerful climate solutions. Today's guest, Rae Tamblyn (@GuessingAtGreen) is the Director of Partner Experience at #ForestProud. Her background in sociology and anti-poverty along with her love for nature make her an inspiring advocate for equity and a healthier climate. Rae and Forest Proud believe we can creative a healthier climate and a kinder society through well managed forests and better communication within the forest industry and with the public!

Rae is a compassionate advocate for change, a brilliant communicator, and so much fun to talk to. I learned a lot from her experience and wisdom and I'm so excited to be involved with #ForestProud. I know you're going to get a lot out of this fun, enlightening conversation as well!

Bradford Pear trees suck. You know, it know, and most importantly today's guest Dr. Dave Coyle knows it. Dave is an Assistant Professor of Forest Health and Invasive Species at Clemson University and is an expert on all things tree and insect. We discussed past diseases and insects that have had huge negatuve impacts on tree populations, invasive species, life in academia, the importance of outreach, and competitive shrimp sports.

Ellen is the host of the wildly popular Just the Zoo of Us podcast and one of my absolute favorite humans. This episode is a pretty long one, and you're welcome for that.
