Sayani Sarkar, PhD (she/her)
@omnivorescientist.bsky.social
The polymath's life. Erstwhile biochemist. Reader. Writer. Tea drinker. Calligrapher. Curating ideas on natural history, science, history, philosophy, culture, and art on https://sayanisarkar.substack.com/. Editor-at-large @AsymptoteJournal.
I recently watched an Al Jazeera docu showing the effect of north African heatwaves on olive flowers-they basically burn them up within a day- and wondered if a similar thing happens to grapes in the Mediterranean. Drought tolerant makes sense though for arid climates.

Hello Kevin! Thanks for reaching out. Curious how the companies are dealing with long-term effects of climate change on vineyards and gardens in general :)
