Matt Candeias

Dr. Matt Candeias is the host of the "In Defense of Plants" Podcast and Author of In Defense of Plants: An Exploration into the Wonder of Plants. Most people take plants for granted because they see them everyday. They never really pause to think about how fascinating these complex organisms truly are! Dr. Candeias, through both his book and podcast, is trying to change this! Along with reliable facts about plants, Dr. Candeias also shares facts about the botanic community. For example, researchers genetically engineer plants by shooting them with coated BBs! Dr. Matt Candeias is moving people’s eyes from their social media feed and to the little, familiar green organisms that open our eyes to another world.
