You’re wasting your space-nip! – Lettuce Opium, Dinosaurs, Fairy Lanterns

Plants and Pipettes

We’re back from the summer break. If you had guessed that we will be more on point, less rambly and more focussed on plants after our break I have to ask: do you even know us? Anyway, we have cool science facts and not a single cut in the entire episode.

• Sedative Effects of Latexes Obtained from Some Lactuca L. Species Growing in Turkey
• Dinosaurs were night prowlers, study finds
• Tatsuya Amano on Twitter: “#languagebarriers have multiple major consequences for scientists, the advance of science, and its impact on societies. We need a concerted effort from all – both non-native & native speakers. Here we’ve listed ten things you can start doing today. https://t.co/HJcEFm3lPz… https://t.co/h2S8atF2PV“
• The role of plant–pollinator interactions in structuring nectar microbial communities
• Bacterial Dyes in Fashion
• Enchantingly Strange ‘Fairy Lanterns’ Discovered Growing in a Malaysian Rainforest
• What’s the chattiest animal?
