Title: An Interesting Podcast - RadioLab

Just listened to this on the radio. Talked about plants in the first half, and forest habitat in the second. Worth a listen.

QuoteDo you really need a brain to sense the world around you? To remember? Or even learn? Jad and Robert, they are split on this one. Today, Robert drags Jad along on a parade for the surprising feats of brainless plants. Along with a home-inspection duo, a science writer, and some enterprising scientists at Princeton University, we turn our brain-centered worldview on its head through a series of clever experiments that show plants doing things we never would've imagined. Can Robert get Jad to join the march?
