Paco’s Talk: Planta Sapiens: Thinking Outside the Box of Plant Science
Plants know more than they are often given credit for. In this keynote, ‘Planta Sapiens: Thinking Outside the Box of Plant Science,’ Dr. Paco Calvo invites attendees to reconsider the capacities and complexities inherent in the plant world. Drawing on cutting-edge research in plant neurobiology and philosophy, Dr. Calvo will delve into the intricate ways in which plants sense, adapt, and interact with their environment. Far from passive organisms, plants emerge as dynamic entities capable of surprising levels of responsiveness and adaptability. This talk aims to broaden scientific and philosophical views on plant life, offering a more comprehensive understanding of these often-underestimated life forms.
