Hey everybody! Episode 39 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Aline Horwath. Aline and I are actually neighbors at the moment during the pandemic and I often admire her beautiful garden. Aline is a botanist and plant biologist who has been studying mosses to find data about climate change. It was really interesting for me to hear about her research and learn more about the plant kingdom through her lens and knowledge. She has a lot to share and we got into some really beautiful themes about plants, the world, and the human condition. I think you all will enjoy this conversation and learn a lot. To view bonus material, get access to Q&A’s, and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!

"Aline is a canopy biologist fascinated by the hidden wonders of the unexplored canopy, especially in tropical montane cloud forests. Since 2007, Aline has been involved in ecophysiological studies related to climate change. Her main focus has been the use of stable isotopes and epiphytic bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) as climatic indicators in tropical ecosystems. Since 2013 Aline has been working as a freelance scientist, educator, field-botanist, and canopy biologist in India, Trinidad & Tobago, Europe, and Peru.
In addition to being passionate about plant conservation, habitat restoration, soil regeneration and natural agriculture, Aline is dedicated to the practice and sharing of yoga, meditation, and the study of medicinal plants.
