Sat in on a seminar about Grass today. Didn’t realize we humans depend so much on grass until now – more than 45% of our diet’s calorific value comes from it (rice, wheat, barley,…)! Furthermore, grass can be used to make paper, herbal medicine, oil, furniture, construction materials, etc. And the fastest growing plant that can rise up to 3 feet in a single day is bamboo, also grouped as the grass family (Poaceae). Such miraculous plants!
Also saw a video about a famous scientist from the university who dedicated much of her life in plant research. She was still regularly prying into her lab’s microscope in her 90s! A true inspiring model to look up to!
