Join this week's speaker, an author and biologist, for a fascinating exploration of two essential backyard wonders: bees and seeds. These common marvels reveal incredible secrets about evolution and biology -- nature, and our connections to it. And in today's increasingly indoor, media and technology-focused world, we need such touchstones more than ever before. With stories and pictures from his research and award-winning books, his presentation is a fertile reminder of how close we are to nature, wherever we happen to live. Our guest this week is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Switzer Environmental Fellow, and winner of the John Burroughs Medal. His books include Buzz, The Triumph of Seeds, Feathers, and The Impenetrable Forest, as well as the illustrated children's favorite, Bartholomew Quill. He co-hosted the PBS Nature series American Spring Live, and has been a guest on programs ranging from Fresh Air to Science Friday, On Point, and Book Lust with Nancy Pearl.
