They influence our ecosystem, our climate, and of course us humans. They control water cycles, break down rocks, and deliberately poison animals. Trees – they are without question the most powerful plants on Earth. The British biochemist Harriet Rix has been studying trees and forests for many years. In her latest book “The Genius of Trees – How trees mastered the elements and shaped the world” she takes readers on a journey through the world of trees – from Brazil to Syria, the Himalayas, and the Canary Islands.
On October 16, we welcome Harriet Rix to the first online seminar of “Media for Future”.
Starting at 4:00 p.m. BST/ 5 p.m CET, we will talk with the tree expert not only about trunks and leaves, but also about how popular science writing can influence both public awareness and scientific discourse. How do you write about climate and nature – with strict precision, with wonder, or with both?
