Summary
Little babies and potted plants: the stationary, the helpless... the hardest working beings in the room. Peter Vishton found that babies and plants process information in similar ways. And plants can count! Kind of. And: It’s not just in your head. Getting out in nature can improve your mood and health. Benjamin Katz shares some of his favorite hiking and camping spots. Later in the show: Birding is a gateway drug. It starts with a cardinal, and then you’re noticing different frog calls, trees and owls. And more than that, you now care about what’s happening in your local environment. Melanie Del Pozo and Donte Jackson are bringing everyday people into birding one bird walk at a time through the Black Avian Enthusiasts group.
