- Pteridology (FERNS) with Fay-Wei Li
- Description
- <p>Fronds. Forest dwellers. Spores. Houseplants. Queer icons. We’ve got ferns. The charming and hilarious professor and author of “Ferns: Lessons in Survival from Earth’s Most Adaptable Plants,” Dr. Fay-Wei Li, tells me all about fern evolution, what ferns not to have in your house, the most expensive ferns, the tastiest ferns, mathematical mysteries, and a genome that makes no sense, to me or a lot of Pteridologists. Also, can Between Two Ferns save science? This episode is, in Fay-Wei’s words, “ferntastic.”</p><p>Visit Dr. Li’s <a href="https://www.fernway.net/" target="_blank">lab website</a> and follow him on <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=7rl7ZLwAAAAJ&hl=en" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a></p><p>Buy his book, <i>Ferns: Lessons in Survival from Earth’s Most Adaptable Plants</i>, on <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/ferns-lessons-in-survival-from-earth-s-most-adaptable-plants-fay-wei-li/2d12b92c946ca872?ean=9781958417850&next=t&" target="_blank">Bookshop.org</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ferns-Lessons-Survival-Earths-Adaptable/dp/1958417858" target="_blank">Amazon</a></p><p>A donation went to the <a href="https://members.aspt.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?id=2&reset=1" target="_blank">ASPT Herbarium Emergency Fund</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/pteridology">More episode sources and links</a></p><p>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/bryology">Bryology (MOSS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/domesticphytology">Domestic Phytology (HOUSEPLANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/neuroendocrinologyencore">Neuroendocrinology (SEX & GENDER)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/paleontology">Paleontology (DINOSAURS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/foragingecology">Foraging Ecology (EATING WILD PLANTS</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ethnoecology">Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2018/5/7/wdppyiv1wrcs8gchoslvhhuuboanau">Dendrology (TREES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/myrmecology">Myrmecology (ANTS),</a> <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/forestentomology">Forest Entomology (CREEPY CRAWLIES)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a></p><p><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a></p><p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a></p><p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month</p><p><a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!</p><p>Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a></p><p>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a></p><p>Managing Director: Susan Hale</p><p>Scheduling Producer: Noel Dilworth</p><p>Transcripts by Aveline Malek </p><p>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
