The unseen world around us | Valentin Hammoudi | TEDxBerlin

The speaker, a molecular biologist specialized in plant science, sheds light on "plant blindness," a prevalent bias where over 90% of people overlook plants in their surroundings. To stress what this bias makes us miss out, the speaker passionately showcases plants' remarkable abilities, emphasizing their crucial role for humans and Earth. The talk calls for urgent attention to plant conservation, exploring exciting applications in ecology, medicine, and technology, and urges the audience to combat plant blindness by appreciating and discussing the significance of plants in their daily lives. With a focus on plant biology, Dr. Valentin Hammoudi's journey from childhood fascination to earning a Ph.D. at Universiteit van Amsterdam has been remarkable. After having worked at Freie Universität Berlin as a researcher in plant molecular biology, his exploration extends to biotechnologies, as well as impactful projects bridging scientific discoveries to the public, including engaging TED-Ed animations and a groundbreaking popular science book: “le pouvoir des plants” (available only in French for now). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
