03 - Science, Deception, Wisdom, and Wonder with Derek Haynes

Creating a Cooler World

When talking about science, and particularly climate change, we’re often confronted by a maze of misinformation. How can someone who isn’t a scientist even know which sources to trust?
How can improved diversity and inclusion in scientific disciplines impact the communities that those disciplines are supposed to serve?
The divide between science and spirituality only seems to be growing wider. Why might it be useful to bridge that divide?
Derek Haynes doesn't shy away from conversations about these topics.
Known affectionately on Instagram and elsewhere as The Chocolate Botanist, Derek earned a degree in plant biology from North Carolina State University and spent over 9 years at a biotech company working to produce medicines and vaccines using non-traditional plant-based technologies.
In this episode, Derek shares his knowledge, his signature wit and humor, and the love for plants and science that have earned him a large online following and the admiration of people who have attended his workshops and lectures.
