Dr. Bjorn Robroek (Assistant Professor at Radboud University) joins the pod to talk about plants! I am a fan of plants, but was very out of my comfort zone. Luckily, Bjorn was a good sport and we had a fun conversation about some of his favorite plants. Towards the end, we deviated a bit to talk about peatland disturbance and reclamation in the Netherlands.
Some of the plants covered in this episode:
If you're planning a peat vacation in Europe, be sure to check out Store Mosse National Park in Sweden and the Endla Nature Reserve in Estonia.
You can check out the Peat Early Career Researchers (ECR) community here: https://peatecr.com/. There are options to donate directly or buy a peat calendar. Donations go to help ECRs get the supplies they need to do their work.
