In this conversation, we connect with Jonathan Lynch, Ph.D., a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Plant Science at Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Lynch has been a professional in his field for 4 decades, receiving his Masters and Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from UC Davis, where he also completed his postdoctoral training.
The global environment is constantly changing – which significantly impacts plant and soil health. As the head of the Roots Lab at Penn State, Dr. Lynch is on a mission to better understand the genetic, physiological, and ecological basis of plant adaptation to infertile soils. How does he achieve this? By meticulously studying the physiology, genetics, and ecology surrounding organismic processes…
Tune in now to discover:
How to improve the growth of plants in hard conditions.  The challenges that roots face in low-fertility soil.  Problems that soil fertilizers can pose.  The most important crops on Earth.  How climate change is affecting crop yield.  Join us now to dive into Dr. Lynch’s fascinating journey through life and science!

In this episode, we discuss microplastics in marine environments with Dr. J. Evan Ward, Professor and Head of Marine Sciences at the University of Connecticut. As an accomplished experimental biologist, Dr. Ward researches the dynamic interactions between marine animals and their environment – ranging from the organism to the ecosystem level.
Dr. Ward heads up a lab called the Marine Environmental Physiology Laboratory. Here, he and his students study the behavior and physiology of benthic, particle-feeding invertebrates. Primarily focusing on commercially essential bivalves such as clams, mussels, and oysters, Dr. Ward is on a mission to keep these organisms as healthy as possible, especially given the vital ecosystem services they provide…
Join us now to uncover:
Where microplastics tend to collect in water columns.  Where plastic particles ultimately end up in marine environments.  How bivalves filter particles through their bodies.  You can find more on Dr. J. Evan Ward and the Marine Environmental Physiology Laboratory here!
