Show #655: PLANT PILLOW TALK
Guests: Bruce McClure, PhD, University of Missouri's Interdisciplinary Plant Unit
Subject: Two decades after the Prince of Wales was scorned for suggesting plants can respond to human speech, science is proving plants can actually talk. And so we ask… If plants can talk, can they also flirt?
Topics include why plants must comply with the same rules of procreation as people; how plants communicate their availability with each other; and whether, in all their socializing, plants can become sentient.
