Hello,

So I have an assignment from my plant biology class where we have to find a popular press article that reviews or talks about a scientific article, we need to summarize both articles and talk about if the popular press article was good or not.

The popular press article needs to be about plants such as: invasive plant species, GMOs, the health advantages of plant-based anti-oxidants etc... (Below I provided a picture of the subjects we went over this semester, the popular press article can include any of these subjects)

I need help on finding a popular press article no later than the last 8 years Frowning Face

Examples of places to look: The New York Times, San Diego Union Tribune, Time, USA Today, Science Daily, basically anywhere with mainstream journalism.

If someone can find an article that talks about any of the three things I mentioned above or any of the things mentioned in the picture below then let me know thanks! Also please the popular press NEEDS to be talking about a scientific paper, no point in a popular press talking in general about plants need something specific about another scientific paper's findings (sorry if that was confusing)

 - Heres a list of topics we went over in the semester, any of these topics can be covered in the popular press article:



- Here is the full assignment in more details but I feel like I did a good job of summarizing it in my post:

Botany is one of my favorite fields of biology; never knew how much I'd like it until I took it in year 3. Welcome back, HabibiFreshUFC

I found an article for you: https://www.livescience.com/how-carnivorous-plants-evolved.html

It's based off of this study: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(20)30567-4

Let us know what you think!

@bio_man thank you remembering! Thankfully this semester was pretty straight forward didn't need to use too much tutoring haha just need help with this final assignment for the semester.

That article and study you linked was interesting to say the least wow!

Only objection is we haven't covered this in my class,

The article needs to either include any of the following: invasive plant species, GMOs, the health advantages of plant-based anti-oxidants OR can include any of the following:



Also feel no pressure  if your findings using the criteria above yield no results. I will be actively looking for articles as well but usually your a beast with these sort of things
