Description
Summary:
Lavender is a powerful smell, but could it be even more powerful than we think? New Australian research reveals that not only can the smell of lavender help bees make new memories, but that it can also change their mood, and even change their DNA. Could it do the same for humans? Also, we like to think Tasmania is a refuge from climate change. A cool green island at the bottom of a warming world. But this summer may have seen a tipping point. The unprecedented number and size of fires ignited by dry lightning in Tasmania are no longer "natural" events. Conditions are so dry that the soil itself is burning. Ecosystems normally too wet to burn are going up in smoke. One thousand year old World Heritage forests face irreversible loss. Is this what climate change looks like?
