Zoë Schlanger is a staff writer at the Atlantic and an award-winning journalist covering science, health and the environment. Her recent book The Light Eaters is a narrative investigation into the new science of plant intelligence and sentience.

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Zoë discusses eye-opening facts about the life of plants and their ingenious biological methods of adaptation and survival. From their ability to communicate, recognize their kin and behave socially, react to sounds, and morph their bodies to blend into their surroundings, plants display an extraordinary system of intelligence that challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world.
