Plants and Pipettes

We recorded this gem a while back but because Joram we are only publishing it now. So if any of our jokes feel dated, it’s because of that. Clearly. We are always very topical and on point with our humour.

We have a packed episode for you with news from never-browning potatoes, mysterious sunflowers and also an answer to your constant question: How many cells are there?

Did you know? We didn’t either! We were just as surprised as you are right now and let’s indulge in this feeling together with this new spoken word content by your favourite content producers!

Hi. This is a new episode. It’s about plants, pipettes, panic and paranoia. Please enjoy.

We are talking pigweed. We are talking ATPase in diatoms. We are talking trees. What more do you want?!

This week, it’s all about plants. What they do, why they do it and what to look out for when looking at plants. Marvellous!

Welcome to Ants and Pipettes, the podcast about ants and their relationship to plants and also there are pipettes. I don’t know. Have fun!

In this episode, Joram harnesses the powers of technology to prepare himself in a much worse way, arguably. So learn from Joram and reject technology (after you finished using technology to listen to this show, please)!

Yes, this is the plant podcast. No, we are not three people running it. Don’t listen to the bots. We know who we are. We think.

Believe it or not, we had a chatBot write our title this week. Oh the wonders of science. Speaking of science: plants. Plant science. Sciency plants. planty planty planty science. Now!

We recorded in advance but then Joram edited late so overall it evens out to just be a day late in your feed. Not that you care, we know you live life like us, one moment at a time, not knowing what day of the week is today. At least we hope you do so we look less messy. Anyway – plants!

We are back from the break! We are completely different but also pretty much the same so come along and learn about mucus seeds, pink cotton, dandelion physics and a play performed by two very much non-actors.

While plant science missed out on yet another Nobel prize, you are not missing out on yet another great plant science episode. We have a hairy balled plant, some evidence about ATP and a whole Can of Spinach!

They trained dogs to search for underground orchids and we trained ourselves to talk about it. Amazing.

Last week, we wanted to be moss and this week science has listened to us and turned human (cells) into moss. Well kinda. Not really. A little bit. Still, we’re excited to become moss.

If we could choose, we’d be mosses growing on opposite sides of the same tree.

Would you trust us if we spoke badly about cheese? This, and other science facts in our newest plant science show for you!

Sometimes, technology makes our lives better. On other occasions, it makes it much harder. This week was one of those times, the recording equipment failed on us. We still did a fun show full of cool plant science, it just doesn’t sound as nice. Sorry!

We’re back from our holidays and we brought a big bag of plant facts from the last couple of weeks of plant science!

No big plant news this week, we are on holiday for a couple of weeks!

This week, we learn something new: have you heard about apomictic propagation? Well, now you have. We also bring the hottest news from the plant science world.

We have a lot of questions this week that even we don’t know the answer to. This is your time to shine

Hi! Would you like some cool plant facts? We have a fresh new paper about biofortified tomatoes that give you your daily dose of vitamin D, a new oldest tree and an explanation of why catnip likes to be a cat bed.

Would you swap your cat for a praying mantis? What about a nice house plant? This week, we are asking the big questions. Also news from plant science, a new biggest plant has been found and more potent cannabis from Israel.

This week, we’re talking about a cool gene regulatory mechanism that keeps ribosomes busy, the truth behind French lillies and which plants best not to pick.
