Kaylan Reddy - Medicinal Plant Scientist
Manage episode 315543677 series 2816247
Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.
In episode 028 Elle chats with Kaylan about his journey to becoming a medicinal plant scientist. From growing up in Pretoria in South Africa, and committing to Biochemistry, to moving to pursue study in Medicinal Plants in Stellenbosch. Kaylan talks about the uses of Sceletium, the plant at the centre of his study, and how it has traditionally been used as a mood elevator. We talk about sustainable practises for obtaining this endemic plant, and the Indigenous People who contribute to science through sharing their knowledge and traditions.
