new episode of Leaf it to Us out, by Dr Aly Baumgartner and Nora is about plant superorganisms, like Pando, the famous giant clonal aspen grove in fishlake Utah. It's a great episode, but it's not big enough, and I confess I was hoping for more technical detail about these amazing organisms.

Medea hypothesis (Planetary science 🪐)

The Medea hypothesis is a term coined by paleontologist Peter Ward for a hypothesis that contests the Gaian hypothesis and proposes that multicellular life, understood as a superorganism, may be self-destructive or suicidal.

These ants legit can't wait to die. Look at how they're taking to that bait after 2 minutes. They're so cool. Sometimes I hate that people can't live harmoniously with them around their property.
