SEEKING A SCIENTIST | Plants may be more intelligent than we think 

We haven’t been giving the Plant Kingdom enough credit. Plants can move, attack, communicate, and adapt - even though they don’t have what's normally defined as a brain. But do plants meet the criteria for intelligent life? That’s the question Paco Calvo and Natalie Lawrence explore in their book “Planta Sapiens: Unmasking Plant Intelligence.”
Seeking A Scientist is a production of KCUR Studios. It's made possible with support from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, (www.stowers.org/) where scientists work to accelerate our understanding of human health and disease.
