Summary

We've always been big proponents of things in this world being a bit stranger than they appear. On this episode of The What If? Podcast, things are no different. Vegetables might not just make you smart. They might actually *be* smart. Today, we're talking about Cleve Backster and his crazy plant polygraphs, Monica Gagliano and her plant roller coasters, fungal neural networks with more worms in them, and a whole lot more.
