Le piante non sono coscienti. Facciamocene una ragione | Marco Ferrari - La Scienza sul Divano

Plants process an extraordinary number of signals and are capable of responding to a wide range of stimuli and environmental conditions. But are they intelligent, or do they simply implement a series of complex automatisms? We sometimes hear about the "mind" of plants, of plants as conscious or at least sentient beings. Why does current knowledge of botany and plant biology urge us to be cautious with these interpretations? We're talking about this with Marco Ferrari, a biologist and science journalist, who recently published "Plants Are Not Green Animals: Plant Intelligence Put to the Test" Buy "Plants Are Not Green Animals" (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/4a6sMrW Here's the link to "The Mother Tree" by Suzanne Simard (affiliate link) ⁠https://amzn.to/49XJ46g⁠ You can find me on Instagram:   / ruggerorollini   on TikTok:   / ruggerorollini   on Facebook:   / ruggero.rollini   on X: https://x.com/RuggeroRollini My website: https://www.ruggerorollini.it To stay up to date on news and events, follow my channel Telegram: https://t.me/ruggerorollinitelegram Bio: My name is Ruggero, I was born in 1996, I have a degree in chemistry, and I work in science communication. I primarily deal with environmental and everyday chemistry. I study and combat chemophobia, the irrational fear of (synthetic) chemicals. With the program "Science on the Couch," I interview scientists and science communicators in a disgustingly informal manner. I hold conferences and meetings in schools (poor students!). Since 2019, I have collaborated on the creation of Superquark+ for RaiPlay, and since 2023, I have been one of the communicators for Noos on Rai1. I wrote "C'è chimica in casa" (Mondadori, 2022) and, with Simone Angioni and Stefano Bertacchi, "Quello che sai sulla plastica è sbagliato" (Gribaudo, 2023). What do I use to make the videos?
