Learning Like a Plant with Yvonne Volkart, Felipe Castelblanco, Julia Mensch, Rasa Smite) is funded by the SNSF and hosted by the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK Basel FHNW. Following studies in Lebanon and Finland, atmospheric scientist Lubna Dada is conducting research at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen. She explores the formation of clouds and the understanding of bioaerosols—such as pollen or tiny particles that form from plant scents in the air—and sees them as one of the ways how plants communicate.
