The answer to the extra credit question is… the sapodilla tree! Chicle is derived from the juice of the sapodilla tree, which grows in the rainforests of Central America. What’s your favorite plant-based sweet treat? Let us know below!

I am a big fan of sarsaparilla root! Love that you are on Crash Course!

Is that why that one gum brand is called Chiclets?! Amazing! I love making fruit salad with raspberries, bananas, strawberries and almonds! A bit of lemon juice, or honey and oats, makes it even better!

Getting Alexis to teach this was a stroke of genius.

A no-brainer

she has such the personality for it i couldnt be happier for her :'D

Yes

honestly!

@deadbeatSad Год назад

Sometimes Crash Course makes a series on a topic that doesn't interest me. Sometimes I become interested in a topic because of how it was presented. I am now suddenly interested in botany simply because the presenter is clearly very educated and enthusiastic about the topic 😀

@geoffreyparker5775 Год назад

Alexis basically majored in doing *this*, haha. She has degrees in environmental science and theater, and she's been foraging as a hobby since she was very smol. Plus she reads botany dissertations in her free time like a madwoman.

@VashdaCrash Год назад

@@geoffreyparker5775That sounds terrific, in a good way.

@Sarah-wy7pc Год назад

I love that about this channel ❤

@NicholasHay1982 Год назад

I would argue that we ALWAYS become interested in subjects based on their presentation (we just nees to look past individual teachers to see how that's so).

i am a PhD student in botany and am SO EXCITED to see where this course goes. Alexis is the perfect match to take us through the amazing world of plants. We need more botanists!!!!!!!

Omg how is the academic life of being a Botany student ? I been thinking about it but idk XD

I started watching Alexis a while back, and she's the entire reason I decided Botony was a perfect major for me🥰 this is so amazing to watch and I can't wait for more of her achievements!

@leitnights Год назад

I literally just told my spouse, "she's going to inspire people to go into botany with this series" - and even better, you're proof she's already done it via her social media! She's taught so many so much!

So happy to see Alexis on CrashCourse teaching botany! Way to go!

For real, I was on the fence as to whether I was going to follow this series but the presenter's energy managed to kick me all the way to the other side of the field. I'm definitely going to watch all episodes.

I haven’t seen these shows since high school (class of ‘16) so seeing a black woman doing this is absolutely beautiful and truly a dream come true. Thank you world for finally seeing us.

Girl, I’m beyond thrilled that you’re hosting this show. I’m showing this to my seasonal flora class. Keep being amazing.

@via1408 Год назад

I have been waiting for a botany series and I am so happy that Alexis Nicole is the host!!! I am a botanist and this video made so many points that I use in my daily life! We need plants to breathe, salt cannot be non-GMO, and plants are all around us in the things we use day to day. You are preaching to the choir here but I am here for it! Thank you for presenting this information in an interesting and approachable way. I am sharing this series with everyone I know!

I’ve never been so excited to leave a comment! Go Alexis!!!!! 🌱🌿🌳

@RhianneLaventure Год назад

How does crash course always find such upbeat entertaining hosts? Looks like this is the beginning of another series I'm going to love!

@gudematcha Год назад

She is originally from TikTok! Her main thing on TikTok is how to forage and making recipes with what she forages! She of course expresses that you shouldn’t eat anything that you aren’t certain you can ID. Her tag line is “Happy snacking! Don’t die!” 😂

@chigzroo Год назад

Alexis Nikole aka BlackForager is an absolute LEGEND!! Crash Course was lucky to get her!! Such a score. :) She fits so perfectly.

Plants have been genetically modified since the beginning of agriculture. Alexis even mentioned the modification of maise into modern corn in this episode.

@adamco42 Год назад

there's a different between selective breeding/hybrid breeds and gene splicing, generally when people say "genetically modified" they're referring to gene splicing

@tokofukawap4055 Год назад

She will tackle that in a future episode 😉

@williambilyeu9801 Год назад

@@adamco42 The difference is that that although one does do selective breeding, one cannot control the results.

This series came out at the perfect time for me. I was just beginning to study botony on my own, mainly learning about the plant species that are in my neighborhood and then slecies that are native to my state. I've also learned a bit about plant diversity from my biology course in college. Looking forward to this series and having you as the host! 😊

@jonasholzer4422 Год назад

I knew everything she told me but I watched for the great style of presentation. I'm studying Geography and and in one course we're outside identifying plants and documenting our results. It's incredible how many beautiful, strange and interesting plants can be found on a few square meters of meadow or roadside if you just sit down and look closely. This has really increased my awareness of all the things going on in my environment and it gives me a sense of awe and exploration to now see different plants wherever I go 🌿

That said, I am ALWAYS down to learn new stuff about plants. I hope there's an episode on carnivorous plants, because they fascinate me so much! Also, Alexis is awesome, and I genuinely cracked up and had to re-watch the "non-GMO salt" part three of four times because it was just such perfect sass 😂🖤
