Description

Humans have a lot in common with fungi. And algae. Being able to track those similarities is crucial for science. Dr. Lopez-Bautista discusses the tree of life as it emerges as a teaching tool for biologists. He also discusses the uses of algae and fungi and how they factor into a valuable resource for humans.
