Sep 04, 2007 Episode 19
Dr. Biology Talks with Stan Faeth

Travel to Northern Arizona to the research site of ecologist Stan Faeth and get some insights into what he has learned from two native grasses. Who would have thought so much could be learned from these simple plants and the microscopic ecosystem that is part of their success? We also learn how "sleepy grass" got its nickname. If it's called sleepy grass, does it also snore? There is also some talk about why a fungus found in grasses could end up helping humans.
