Plants and Pipettes

I love everything about the podcast except that the cat facts are rarely about cats. This is exactly like when I complained online that dinosaur print underwear wasn’t available in adult sizes and my sister asked me what size I wear, but didn’t give me any dinosaur underwear at all for almost a full year.

I love this podcast, admittedly, it includes a lot more than just plant molecular biology, but I enjoy the other segments just as much. Also, I know it has been stated before by others, but even tho the hosts are cat people, they seem to be confused on exactly what qualifies as a cat. As a dog person, I am ok with this mix up. I recommend starting this podcast from the beginning, it will make much more sense than if you start at their latest episode or somewhere in the middle.

I love the way Tegan and Jorem approach plant science. Their willingness to learn more and confront their blindspots gives me hope for humanity

Really appreciate this pod. It is such a pleasant experience having other people do the heavy lifting of interpreting and digesting science writing for me - all I have to do is sit back, cook dinner, and listen. I’ve learned quite a lot and it’s been gratifying to watch Joram and Tegan grow as hosts. Thanks and good luck you two!
