Robin Wall Kimmerer emphasizes the transformative power of stories to shift our worldview. She suggests living "as if the world is a gift for which I need to be grateful, for which I need to reciprocate, for whom I am accountable," believing that a changed narrative can align our behaviors with nature.

Kimmerer joins AskNature to discuss cultural biomimicry, blending Western science with traditional ecological knowledge to navigate climate uncertainty. She also champions Plant Baby Plant, a grassroots movement encouraging people to "Raise a garden, and raise a ruckus!" Discover more at plantbabyplant.com.

This episode is hosted by Amanda Sturgeon and Andrew Howley, and is a project of The Biomimicry Institute.

In this powerful talk, actor, rockstar, and animal activist Nina Bergman challenges the outdated notion that vegans lack strength. Her radical journey from a meat-obsessed culture to a relentless plant-based warrior defies stereotypes, proving that living vegan is an act of fierce strength, resilience, and compassion.

Through decades of nutritional self-experimentation and activism, Nina reveals how she became a "mean, lean, vegan machine." This isn't about trends; it's about transformation. Nina is living proof this lifestyle works, inspiring others to rethink what it means to be strong. This TEDx talk was independently organized. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.
