Chatty Planties Under Twin Suns (feat. Maren Hunsberger) | Pod 82

Turns out plants are absolute CHATTERBOXES! They talk so much that they make Julian look like a silent partner (he’s not). Instead, he uses a silly German accent to accost our guest Maren Hunsberger all about plant communication. And, speaking of intense interrogations, Star Wars’ Tatooine gets a lot of play in the pop-science space news, but here at home having two suns is way hotter, and also (surprisingly) WAY COLDER!

QUESTIONS

Julian: "What would happen if our Solar System had two suns?" from Hannah

Maren: "If plants ‘scream’ when cut, do they talk for other reasons?" from Xander
