“Michael Strano led the research team who birthed the world’s first cybernetic spinach plant. He is a professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT. “This is a novel demonstration of how we have overcome the plant-human communication barrier,” Strano said.” http://bigthink.com/philip-perry/we-have-overcome-the-plant-animal-communication-barrier-mit-professor-claims View in LinkedIn

EMAIL ALERTS FROM PLANTS. "MIT engineers recently accomplished this, allowing a spinach plant to send an email to a smartphone when it encountered nitroaromatics—chemical compounds found in many types of explosives. The plants roots picked up this compound, which was sent to the leaves, where nanotube sensors triggered a signal.” http://bigthink.com/philip-perry/we-have-overcome-the-plant-animal-communication-barrier-mit-professor-claims View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS a lengthy sojourn into the work on plant intelligence. Once a taboo subject, it has probably moved to much into the mainstream and has been taken over by the woo-woo crowd. But this is a very important topic. I recently spoke to a woman who still thinks that plants are little different than Chinese plastic decorations, an equally mainstream thought, I fear. Because plants are so different from animals they are hard to understand, and surely anything who does not resemble us is destined to a secondary status. View in LinkedIn

HUMAN ANESTHETICS freeze plant responses. Denis Noble thinks that anesthetics are a key to consciousness. Probably worth serious investigation. http://flip.it/C6ycdL View in LinkedIn

TWO TYPES. "Experiments are described that document the occurrence of the two sorts of memory and which show how they can be distinguished." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1438-8677.2012.00674.x/abstract View in LinkedIn

PLANT MEMORY CIRCUITS. "There is a storage and recall memory based on a complex network of elements with a high degree of integration and feedback. The most important elements envisaged are calcium waves, epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones, and regulation of timing via a biological clock." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1438-8677.2012.00674.x/abstract View in LinkedIn

ASPERITAS, NEW CLOUD SYSTEM ADDED. "Since 2008, we have argued that this dramatic and distinctive cloud formation deserves a classification of its own. Now The World Meteorological Organisation have announced that they’re going to be making it the first new cloud classification since 1951." https://lnkd.in/dHirZbh View in LinkedIn
