About Planthropology
If you're on this planet, plants have a HUGE impact on your life. Whether you're a vegan, a carnivore, or somewhere in between, plants are the basis of the food you eat, the clothes your wear, and the air you breathe. We don't intend just to teach you plant facts (though we'll do plenty of that), but to give you some insight into the cool people who work with them. From the soil to the plate to the climate, dive into the anthropology of plants (get it?) and learn a little more about why you should care about the world around you from the people who care about it the most.

[…] When I realize that, or if we can realize that I don't know everything, but goodness, I would like to. That makes us humble. It should. It should make us teachable. It should make us want to go and read more papers and read more books and discover more things. Curiosity is a superpower, my friends. It is. When you can get out there and be curious about the world around you, it's hard to stop you. But we let wonder and awe and curiosity fade out of our lives in the name of busyness, in the name of, again, achievement. But if one of your values is being a curious, humble person, again, it's a superpower. […]
