The Taproot is the podcast that digs beneath the surface to understand how scientific publications are created. In each episode, we take a paper from the plant biology literature and talk about the story behind the science with one of the authors. With hosts Liz Haswell and Ivan Baxter.

Last episode of the season! We talk with @YundeZhao, EIC of
@PlantPhys, about transformation tools & transformations needed in the publishing world, & address recent controversy about lack of diversity among new Plant Physiology editors-->

I consider the term "plant science" to be VERY broad! Fossils, paleobotany, synbio, botany, ecophysiology, microbes that hang out with plants, etc. We're inclusive ❤️

Hopefully that works - if not please let me know!

Our 1st episode, with ⭐️amazing⭐️ guest Dior Kelley, is out!! It's about the precarious position of pre-tenure faculty with kids, oblique references to Eminem, and a fair amount of bleeping 😬.

It's called "May I have your attention, please? Searching for causal mutations and for institutional support".
