Description

Ever wonder what exactly plants get up to all day? It’s much more than just sitting around to soak up the sun. Now, machine learning is helping to unlock the mysteries of how plants change over the course of a day, and the impact it could have on how we grow our food.
Biochemist  Dr. Glen Uhrig joins hosts Alona Fyshe and Scott Lilwall to talk about how his lab is using machine learning to study how plants grow in different lighting conditions of the course of the day. This could lead to applications with big impacts for indoor farming in northern climates, and perhaps even feeding astronauts during space missions. Listen to discover the potential that artificial intelligence has in advancing scientific research in biochemistry, agriculture, and other fields.
