How a giant robot can save plants from climate change

Описание: Come with us to Arizona to meet scientists from the Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems who are opening a dialogue with plants to help them become more resilient to drought and heat brought on by climate change. They are using everything from giant robots to genetic light switches to achieve their vision, and are buying our crops some time while us humans get our act together!

Flashing lights go from 12:52-12:59
