"The Intelligent Plant"

Hi Class!

Just read this interesting New Yorker article by Michael Pollan that follows a group of scientists who are seeking to prove that plants are a lot more like us than most people realize, capable of learning, memory, cognition and computation! I thought that this was incredibly relevant for the ecofeminist argument against specism. Skim through the article if you get a chance to take a break from finals week.

This seems like a really interesting article, and I'm about to start reading! So that everyone can take a look at the whole thing, here's a link to the Bryn Mawr library username and password info for their New Yorker subscription: http://trixie.brynmawr.edu:9003/brynm?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/sfxit.com:opac_856&url_ctx_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&sfx.ignore_date_threshold=1&rft.object_id=110975413975944&svc_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:sch_svc&&sfxmenu=true&sfx.show_availability=1&marcit.menu=true
