The Plant Prof

Vikram Baliga

I talk about random facts and whatever nerdy plant stuff pops into my head. Probably very chaotic and very silly, with maximum chlorophyll and dad jokes. Very science, much plant, wow.

I learned today that I'm so old I'm probably going to have archaeologists hanging around soon. Listen to this, go watch Neature Walk, and I'm going to go take some Advil for my aching old man joints and watch reruns of MASH.

Life is....something right now. Wild? Crazy? Unpredictable? Finding a process that helps you find your center goes a long way to getting your brain right. For me, one of those processes is making a good cup of coffee!  This episode was inspired, in part, by a tweet from last week by The PhD Story.

If you're reading these show notes and/or listening to this podcast, you've made it through 2020 and to today. I know it's been hard and I know things look bleak sometimes, but making it through this year has proven you can do hard things. Keep striving and keep going. I love all you nerds, and can't wait to talk plants with you again next week!

This was an impromptu podcast recording with my son, Bradley, because I didn't have any other content ready to go. As always, he's a better podcaster than I am.

Purple is just a lie your brain tells you about the universe. Let's talk about that and why Red Onions are actually "purple." A special thanks to Steve Mould (@MouldS) for his excellent video about color mixing  and John Seymour (@John_TheMathGuy) for this brilliant blog post about the linguistic evolution of colors!
