Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Botanists and researchers are always excited when they discover previously unknown plant species, and in the last twenty-five years, more than one thousand new species have been found in the U-S. Kojo and guests discuss the significance of these findings, and how ordinary Americans may make extraordinary discoveries in their own backyard gardens.
Guests
- Barbara Ertter Curator of Western North America Flora at University of California at Berkeley
- Dr. Bruce Stein Director of Scientific Publications at the Nature Conservancy
- Vicky Funk Research Botanist at the Smithsonian Institution
