This is what I got to do this week!  Be sure to watch it so you can hear me say ‘poop’.

Science news! Also a mention of Linnaeus; he was the man. He was the father of taxonomy, an under-rated but important area of science.

I’m always happy to share botany-inspired musicians with you. Last time it was black metal artist Botanist. This time, I’m going a little girlier and introducing you to Rose & the Nightingale. Made up of four women who play many instruments, Rose & the Nightingale’s latest album “The Spirit of the Garden” was inspired by botanical gardens across the country. Take a listen, and if the spirit moves you, see them on Tuesday, January 15 at Culture Project in Manhattan. Doors at 7 p.m.
