DOUBLE STANDARD. "The food writer Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma (Penguin, 2006) among others, wrote an article in The New Yorker in 2013 exploring why terms such as intelligence, memory and even behaviour have been contentious for plant scientists. His thesis boils down to a divide in biology that allows zoologists to use anthropomorphic terms, but denies the privilege to plant scientists." https://lnkd.in/dxRVH6U View in LinkedIn
