    I love the depth of topic and format. It would be great if this series was continued and expanded.

    Science history done well.
    This is a fascinating limited series on the history of plant biology as a science. It covers The Enlightenment to now with so many great stories about how plants are integral to our lives. And even why they’re fascinating in their own right. Highly recommend this series.
