Please boost for reach!

I'm trying to find out about people & institutions working in the emerging Plant Humanities. I'd like to be able to do an informational interview with someone in this field to see if it's where I'd like to head.

Thanks! @plantscience @academicchatter

A creative way that has tried to sell old shoes in a more anthropocentric way, fitting our times; check out this 2018 post on Scientific American:

A single person with a specific label? Where's the transdisciplinarity in that 😉

Plant humanities is so much broader ... because it's so beautifully vague 😁

No, unfortunately not. It could have, I tried, but the environment was to hostile to make it thrive. So, it remained a skeleton 🤷‍♀️

But there's a fresh opinion piece by @Lepidodendron just published in Am J Bot
