FOA115: Microscopic Biological Pest Wars with Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller of Pheronym

Fatma and Cameron join me today to discuss their pheromone-based pesticide and how it can improve the agricultural landscape in the future. They describe the primary problem regarding nematodes, what inspired them to investigate the use of pheromones as a pesticide, and what eventually lead them to make nematodes work for farmers instead of against them.
