Recently, I found myself explaining Urban Plant Research to several quantum physicists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum in Berlin. I felt a bit sheepish describing our not-very-scientific approach to “research” and didn’t expect these real scientists to think much of such a whimsical project. But one of them, Elisa Wheeler, was very enthusiastic, sharing her own story of odd plants struggling in a manmade environment.
