Let's Talk Plants: A Student Podcast- Ivan Rodriguez

The final project for the introductory horticulture class I teach is to create a science communication piece about something we discussed in the class. They can choose to make a short podcast episode, a YouTube video, a TikTok, or write a paper. One of my students asked if he could be a guest on Planthropology as his project. I thought about it a while and decided it would be a fun idea! Ivan Rodriguez is a Freshman Landscape Architecture major at Texas Tech. In this short episode, he discusses what he learned in the class and how he hopes to use his newfound knowledge of native plants and landscape techniques in his future career.
