Exploring the idea that plants can think, feel, and communicate as a way of reconfiguring our relationship with the natural world
Monica Gagliano is a Research Professor of Evolutionary Ecology whose work extends the concept of cognition, including perception, learning, memory, and consciousness, in plants. She has pioneered the novel research field of plant bioacoustics, experimentally demonstrating that plants not only emit their own 'voices' but also detect and respond to sounds within their environments. Her research delves into the behavior and evolution of plants and animals, opening a fascinating perspective on biological intelligence. Her work offers fundamental insights into the hidden capabilities of the plant kingdom.
