Join your host Tesla Monson on Tuesday, February 2nd @ 9AM as she interviews biologist Dave Armitage from the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley on The Graduates! Dave’s work on carnivorous plants investigates how plants and bacteria shape each other’s ecology and evolution. Currently, he is studying wild carnivorous pitcher plants to determine how a plant’s bacterial communities facilitate its digestion of captured insects. In the interview, Dave will also discuss his work on the interaction between bats and controlled fires in Florida, and what makes a threeshrew toilet.
