82. Water Quality, Crying About Math, and the Tea on Plant Groups w/ Emily Stamm

Hey there, Plant People! It's been a while! Thanks for your patience as I've been traveling and dealing with some family stuff. I'm excited to get back with you today with a super fun episode! Emily Stamm is one of our Master's students in the Simpson Urban Horticulture Lab in the Department of Plant and Soil Science at Texas Tech University. She already holds 2 degrees in Math and has taught professionally, but decided she wanted to learn more about her passion for plants and human health. Emily is also an avid plant collector and belongs to a lot of online plant groups which can be....messy...at times. We talked about everything from how much math makes people cry, to equity in the plant trade. It's a fun episode that I really think you're going to love!
