• Profile Question 1

  What is the coolest thing you have discovered or learned about plants?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 1 here (300 words):

  They are also like human beings, they can feel, they can sense, only thing is that they cannot move. Each part of the plants are different world. The roots have got many inhabitants in it, microorganims, like bacteria, viruses, or fungs. Each leaf also contains differnt types of microorganisms. The most important thing that surpirsed me is that, the plants can decide, whome to let inside their body (roots or stem or leaves).

  After my pre university, I decided to start my carrer as a botanist. So studied my batchelors degree in Botany. There I came to explore the different possibility of learning plant sciece. The first thing, i have learned in my Botany class, from my professor was, not smell whatever flowers you see, some might be allergic and you never know, until you get reactions.

  When and why did you decide to go into a science career?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 3 here (300 words):

  Science is always changing, everyday, you have something to learn. May be what you have learned today about something will change tomorrow, but that is the most exciting part. I have seen, when the animals got sick, they dont go and meet a doctor. They just find out a plant, which can cure them, which tells us that, in the nature, we have cure for all our diseases. So search in the nature and you will get the answer

Dear Paloma

How are you? Hope you had a wonderful vacation. 

I am glad that your experiment was very successful and I could help you a bit there. Effectively some types of scarification will help the seeds to germinate faster. That's what sometimes wind or rain do. That is nature's way to scarify the seeds. At the same time, we also learned that burning could destroy the seeds, so we can imagine what happens after a wildfire. 

I would also love to meet you all in person. Hope it will be possible in the near future. 

Wishing you all success in the future and all the best wishes for a bright future

With love and best regards
