    Thank you @societyforethnobotany for a fabulous we Thank you @societyforethnobotany for a fabulous week of science, exchange, and engaging discussions! This year’s congress theme of undisciplined #ethnobotany was not only unique, but also opened the door for new ways of thinking about people and planet! Thank you to the Botanical Institute of Montpellier and the University of Montpellier for hosting our international group! Also - I had so many proud PI moments - fantastic talk by @plantpotion Dr. Ella Vardeman and poster by former lab member Dr. Airy Gras Mas @airy_gras_mas 💕💕 I’m grateful for all the people that make up this society I’ve been a member of since 2004!
    Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges in modern medicine, raising the risk of a return to a pre-antibiotic era where common infections become life-threatening. This week on Foodie Pharmacology, Dr. Cassandra Quave speaks with Dr. Nadine Ziemert about how scientists are turning to microbial genomes to discover the next generation of antibiotics. A professor of translational genome mining at the University of Tübingen, Nadine explains how bacteria themselves are prolific chemists, producing complex natural products that can be harnessed to fight infection. The conversation explores why traditional discovery methods have slowed, how genome mining reveals hidden “chemical dark matter” in the environment, and how computational tools are helping researchers predict new molecules before they are even isolated in the lab. From the vast, untapped diversity of soil microbes to the future potential of AI-driven discovery pipelines, this episode offers a hopeful look at how science is working to stay ahead in the race against antibiotic resistance.

    Journey to Brazil to uncover the hidden roots of C Journey to Brazil to uncover the hidden roots of Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian spiritual tradition shaped by African plant knowledge, resilience, and cultural memory. In this episode, I speak with ethnobotanist Dr. Bob Voeks to explore how enslaved Africans preserved sacred healing traditions and foodways across the Atlantic, transforming plants into powerful symbols of identity and survival. From spiritual cleansing rituals with sacred leaves to the fascinating story of caruru, a revered okra dish tied to twin deities, we trace the remarkable journey of African plants through the diaspora. Along the way, we uncover surprising connections linking Candomblé, callaloo, and even Southern gumbo, revealing how food can carry history, spirituality, and culture across continents and generations.

    The health of our environment underpins everything The health of our environment underpins everything from food systems to future medicines, yet much of the damage done to nature goes unaddressed. This week on Foodie Pharmacology, Dr. Cassandra Quave speaks with Jacob Phelps about a new approach to conservation that brings science into the courtroom. Together, they explore how environmental litigation can move beyond small fines and toward holding offenders accountable for restoring damaged ecosystems, from illegal mining and deforestation to wildlife trafficking. The conversation highlights the gap between strong environmental laws on paper and their limited use in practice, and how interdisciplinary teams of scientists and lawyers are working to change that. From protecting biodiversity and safeguarding food systems to preserving resources that may hold future therapeutic value, this episode offers a powerful look at how legal action can be used as a tool to defend and repair the natural world.

    Groningen is such a charming city! The contrasts i Groningen is such a charming city! The contrasts in quality of life here with that of Atlanta are stark. Natural parks abound. Bike lanes are everywhere and there is limited noise or air pollution from vehicles as nearly everyone gets around in bicycles and on foot! We cycled all around town yesterday and I never felt in danger from cars and it was so easy to park in front of whatever store or site we visited. To arrive to the cirty, it was a straight shot by train from the airport. So simple. This is why city planning matters. This is why investment in public transportation matters. You have to see it to believe it! #netherlands

    Spring is a time when many of us think about fresh Spring is a time when many of us think about fresh starts and better health, including the well-being of our pets. Dr. Cassandra Quave speaks with Angela Ardolino about natural approaches to supporting aging dogs. Angela, a formulator and educator specializing in cannabinoids, medicinal mushrooms, and adaptogens, explains how these compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system to regulate inflammation, neurological function, and overall balance. They discuss the differences between full-spectrum hemp extracts and isolated compounds, how cannabinoids may support joint pain, seizures, and cognitive decline, and the growing interest in functional mushrooms like lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps for brain health of our pets. The conversation also examines what cognitive decline looks like in aging pets, the role of inflammation and the gut-brain connection, and how diet and ultra-processed pet foods may contribute to disease. From reading supplement labels to understanding ingredient sourcing and quality, this episode offers a practical framework for pet owners interested in integrative approaches to animal health.
    Seed oils are everywhere. From salad dressings to Seed oils are everywhere. From salad dressings to snack foods, they’ve become a quiet staple of the modern diet. But how did they get there, and what do we really know about their impact on human health?

This week on Foodie Pharmacology, Dr. Cassandra Quave sits down with nutritionist Cherie Calbom, MS, known as “The Juice Lady,” to unpack the rise of industrial seed oils and the debate surrounding them. Cherie shares her personal journey into nutrition, which began with a serious health crisis and led her to rethink the role of food in healing.

Together, they explore what seed oils actually are, how they are processed, and why their chemical structure makes them vulnerable to oxidation. The conversation traces their history from industrial byproducts to “heart-healthy” staples, shaped by wartime supply chains, shifting dietary guidance, and powerful marketing.

They also dig into where these oils are hiding in everyday foods, why they can be difficult to avoid even when you are trying to eat well, and how to navigate labels in a highly processed food environment.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really in the oils lining grocery store shelves, or why this topic has become so widely debated, this episode offers a deeper look at the science, history, and real-world implications of seed oils in today’s diet.
    Arcadia friends and Southwest Florida neighbors, I Arcadia friends and Southwest Florida neighbors, I’m spending today back in my hometown for a special book signing at Dragon’s Den Books on Historic Main Street! 🌿📚

I’m here now through 3 PM today (Saturday, May 23) with hardcover and paperback copies of The Plant Hunter available.

Stop by to say hello, support local business, grab a coffee, and chat with me about plants, storytelling, and the healing power of nature. I’d love to see you! @dragonsdenbooks @arcadiamainstreet

    Hey friends and fans in Southwest Florida! Join me Hey friends and fans in Southwest Florida! Join me tomorrow, Saturday May 23, in the charming antique district along Arcadia’s historic Main Street! Located in DeSoto County, Florida, this special corner of the Florida heartland is just about an hour from Sarasota or Fort Myers and roughly two hours from Tampa or Orlando.

This event feels especially meaningful to me because Arcadia is my hometown. So much of who I am today was shaped by growing up here. Returning to meet readers, reconnect with familiar faces, and share this chapter of my journey in the place where my own story began feels truly special.

📍 Dragon’s Den Bookshop
101 W Oak St, Arcadia, FL 34266

I’ll be there from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. meeting readers, signing books, chatting about the Foodie Pharmacology podcast, sharing updates on my upcoming field research season, and talking about current writing projects.

Come by and say hello! Bring your copy of The Plant Hunter for a signing, or pick one up at the shop while you’re there.

And make a day of it: grab a coffee at the cute café next door, stroll along Arcadia’s historic Main Street, and explore the many antique shops along the way. You never know what treasures you might uncover!

Free street and public lot parking is available nearby. I’d love to see friends old and new there 💚

Yours in health, Dr. Quave
