Why do plants want to grow?

In the tenth episode (already?!), Helen and Dr. C celebrate by going full plant mode with guest Emma Aller, a plant-loving molecular biologist from the University of Copenhagen and co-host of the Plantejagten podcast 🎙️

From counting to three and communicating through smells to remembering past threats and producing chemical compounds for defence, this episode peels back the quiet drama of plant life. You will discover that plants are anything but passive, and far more interesting than most of us realise.
