The science of thermogenesis

Teaming With Microbes

This week, Jeff and Jonathan kick off their weekly conversation by exploring "forcing the bulb"—a technique that tricks bulbs into blooming early by mimicking the natural temperature cycles of fall, winter, and spring. They explore various strategies, ideal temperatures, and timing for this process.

After the break, they examine fascinating plants like the corpse flower, which uses thermogenesis to boost its pollination chances.

Finally, the team discusses effective and safe ways to use ice melt in colder climates.

All this and more on this episode of "Teaming with Microbes."
