Oh shucks!  I just got home and just realized that I overbooked myself today that I missed a talk by Dr. Steven Frankel:  How Plants Are Better at Just About Everything than Humans.  

He says that, “Humans think we are better than plants, mostly because we know that plants cannot move about. However, the lack of movement has caused plants to compensate by becoming really good at just about everything.”

The talk looked at how plants are better at all sorts of things including extreme living, working with others, changing the planet and even enslaving the human race to their will.  

If you know anything about this, please do share.  Thanks!
