Thank you for this concise and super informative presentation. A great tribute to Richard Schultes.

I loved BIO 104 and "botany and chemistry of hallucinogens", and had a good relationship with Richard when he was the curator of the botanical museum . I miss Richard

Fascinating. Loving the Plants of the Gods podcast too by the way. Thank you 😊

great talk & history. As an indigenous person I would suggest to not use phrases like "the most important explorer of the amazon" as if the native people living there weren't important because they are not giving research & samples back to predominately colonial institutions. Very much through a "white lens" although ofcourse very helpful

Awesome, just graduated from Cornell, and was a self-taught ethnobotanist prior to that. My capstone was on a video compendium on the ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological applications of various plants found in North America that I posted here on KZread. Side note: If anyone knows of any opportunities where I could work on the protection of biodiversity while using my background I would be ecstatic.

Thank you Tim Ferris for showing me cool people for so many years

fascinating

Orchid species with blue flowers aren't rare if you know where to look (Australia). Also, let's celebrate Schultes as the author of a charming little book that defines and explains the names of orchid genera by reprinting it again.
