Where can a plant take you?

Herbaria 3.0 (www.herbaria3.org), is a collaborative digital environmental humanities project that offers a platform for sharing the stories of plants and people. Herbaria 3.0 explores how the stories we tell about plants illuminate the intertwined nature of humans and plants.

Nonna's Garden and Dad's Hedge are a sample of two stories taken from Herbaria 3.0.

Herbaria 3.0 is open access and nonprofit. It has been generously funded by the Seed Box: A Mistra-Formas Environmental Humanities Collaboratory hosted at Linköping University, in Linköping, Sweden, with additional funding provided by the Division of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines, USA.

"There are three important qualities in a good scientist: dedication, communication, and openness."

Prof Francis Martin is Section Editor for the Interaction section of New Phytologist. Listen to the interview to find out what he thinks the hot topics in plant-soil interactions are, and his advice for early career researchers.

'Don't be put off if your experiment doesn't seem to have worked if you're doing experiments, or if your data doesn't seem to fit - that's probably going to be the most interesting thing that you've done so far.'

Listen to our interview with Prof Colin Brownlee to find out how he became interested in plant science and hear his tips for early career researchers.

'Pursue questions that really interest you, do things that you like to do - I think that that's the best advice - because if you can maintain that enthusiasm, if you really maintain the joy in what you're doing in science, that will transmit itself into a successful career.'

Professor Amy Austin, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is an Editor for New Phytologist, in the Environment section of the journal. She is the 2018 L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Laureate for Latin America: https://www.fondationloreal.com/posts/2018-l-oreal-unesco-for-women-in-science-awards/fr
