Isis Pinner: Almond Self-Fertilisation, Foraging for Fungi, and The Challenges of a PhD

Slice of Science por Michelle Sims

Notas del episodio

How can looking at tiny proteins through an xray can help us understand self-fertilisation in almond trees? And have you ever wanted to go foraging for fungi? Don't be put off by the news headlines!

Shelly sits down with PhD student Isis Pinner to get down in the dirt and up trees with fungi and almonds!

(***audio quality was reduced beyond repair in the second half, apologies!)
