About No Time To Read

Arif, plant biologist and host of the podcast, will talk to lead author of a recently published plant biology paper. The guest will simply explain the story of the publication, answer questions from the host, and share personal experience and details related to the article. As an audience, you will tune in to the episode with an expectation that you will know the story of the paper without reading it. Besides, you can keep listening the podcast during your experiment, walking outside, in your car and wherever possible.
