Let me know if the geology info in the first few minutes was easy enough to understand or if it confused the hell out of you. Specifically the diagram I drew is a bit fucking goofy and I'm wondering if I should re-do it.
Thanks in advance.
This was a fun one to edit and finish. Hope enjoy it. GFY.

The notorious "Bristol Mountains Buckwheat" that was first collected a decade ago but is still new to science and hasn't been named is featured in this expose of Desert Geology.

If the voice dubs sound like ass or are do-able on this one? Experimenting with different mics. I still have about 15 videos left of South Africa footage to edit and each one takes a few hours since I'm trying to put educational overlay images and diagrams in them, and then of course the over-dub...

The legume family is fucking incredible and contains upwards of 20,000 species. It is as ubiquitous as the sunflower family and probably just as ecologically successful. I rarely post episodes of podcasts up but I was so excited about this one I figured it was worth it to send out a notification....

Reposting this class I taught last year that gives a crash course in plant identification. If you want an even better version of this class (consisting of four separate classes) then Backcountry Press still sells them (they're not mine to give away, unfortunately).
If you're just getting ...
Here's a preliminary viewing of this massive bastard of a video I just finished. This thing sucked to edit, and I honestly should've cut a lot more than I did, but it felt criminal to leave any of this shit out.
In this episode we interview Russel Wagner, a skilled and meticulous plant br...
In this episode we return to Namaqualand, South Africa to further explore the cast of species that make this region such a remarkable place of endemism and evolutionary marvel...the kind of place that will land you on your ass with wonder and excitement at just how weird evolution and ecology can...

2021-11-10 04:12:48 +0000 UTC View PostHello All,
I still have about 100 GB of video from South Africa to edit and put together, among a dozen or so seemingly monumental bullshit tasks going on in life right now. It's a daunting amount of footage to edit and most of the videos would end up being an hour long each. I'm thinking of i...
Want to shoot the shit and talk about plants (or anything else)? I'll be planning a Patreon-only meet up/video chat to shoot the shit, answer questions, and give crash-course tutorials/plant advice/reading lists/self-education advice,etc sometime next week. Session will probably run an hour. Not ...
