Before there were forests, flowers or mammals, there was light. The young Earth was a profoundly different world. Its atmosphere contained little oxygen. Its continents were largely barren. There w...

THE PRISMATIC BODY; How living systems translate light into biology

We have long been taught to think about health through the language of chemistry. Carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals. These are undeniably important. Yet beneath chemistry lies another lan...

THE MICROBIOME OF PLACE

We have become increasingly aware of what we eat. But what about what we breathe? We often think of the microbiome as something shaped by diet, supplements and digestive health. But every day we ...

BIOSTIMULANTS: THE SUBSTANCES THAT SHAPE HEALTH THROUGH SIGNALS
