Hosted by comedian Ria Lina, this double bill from The Provocateurs and The Stand Comedy Club brings together two University of Edinburgh academics. Dr Richard Milne introduces the dark side of pretty flowers — uncovering theft, exploitation and murder in the plant world. Professor Pankaj Pankaj then peers behind the curtain of interdisciplinary research to reveal the chaos behind the breakthroughs. Running 60 minutes at Stand 2, suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Two academic talks with a wicked edge, held together by comedian Ria Lina — plants as villains and research as organised chaos. An accessible and genuinely surprising hour of spoken word.
