Medicinal Garden Kit
I am a mother, an herbalist, a survival skills instructor, and a biologist. I graduated with a degree in Biology from McGill University and further developed my herbal skills in the desert of Kalahari. I lived there for years with one of the oldest cultures on Earth, the San Bushmen. Many San still live off what the land provides in terms of food and medicine, and many of them live well to a ripe old age without ever taking pills or seeing the inside of a hospital.

The Resilience of Life: Surviving Ancient Super Volcanoes. Content Warning.
Introduction: Millions of years ago, the American landscape bore witness to an extraordinary geological phenomenon - the "ignimbrite flare-up," a series of super volcanic eruptions that shaped the course of history. These catastrophic events unleashed unimaginable power, dwarfing even the colossal eruption of Yellowstone. Surprisingly, these massive eruptions occurred relatively frequently, approximately every 10,000 years, engulfing North America in a thick layer of ash. However, life endured and thrived, leaving behind a remarkable fossil record. In this blog, we will delve into the astonishing resilience of ancient creatures and plants, exploring how they not only survived but also bounced back to shape the present-day world.

How Whole Genome Duplication Saved Plants from Extinction
Introduction The prehistoric world was a place of immense natural beauty and ferocious creatures. However, the reign of the dinosaurs came to a catastrophic end some 66 million years ago, as a massive asteroid collided with the Earth, causing a devastating mass extinction. Amidst the chaos, plants faced a daunting challenge – 60% of all plant species went extinct. Yet, amidst the darkness and dust, some plant ancestors managed to survive, and their secret to survival lies in a fascinating evolutionary phenomenon called Whole Genome Duplication (WGD). This accidental doubling of their DNA bestowed upon them the genetic flexibility and adaptability needed to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. Today, angiosperms, or flowering plants, owe much of their evolutionary success to this ancient event. In this blog, we will embark on a journey to explore the remarkable world of WGD and its pivotal role in shaping the course of plant evolution.

The Fascinating Tale of Yi qi and the Evolution of Membraned Wings
Subtitle 1: Unearthing the Discovery of Yi qi In 2007, a farmer in northeastern China stumbled upon an extraordinary fossil in a quarry just outside his village. The fossil, initially believed to be that of a small dinosaur, turned out to be something much more remarkable. Purchased by a museum, this unique find was later revealed to be Yi qi, a pigeon-sized, feathered creature from the Late Jurassic Period, approximately 159 million years ago. What made Yi qi truly exceptional was its bat-like membraned wings, a feature never before seen in any ancient bird relative or dinosaur. This discovery shed new light on the origin of birds and challenged our understanding of evolutionary flight.
