Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. It seems that animals get all the attention in biology, but we must not forget about the plants! We would not exist without them!
In this class, students will look at the organisation of a plant, from its roots in the ground to its shoots up above (and everything in between)!
