Watch: Frontiers in Science interview with Robin Wall Kimmerer
This interview with plant ecologist, professor of environmental biology and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Robin Wall Kimmerer, poetically blends Indigenous wisdom and science with inspiring advice. Professor Kimmerer’s passion for the natural environment, and moving recollections and responses to the audience questions are especially helpful in these challenging times.
The interview is available on YouTube here. I have also made previous recommendations about Professor Kimmerer’s writings here.
