How Taylor Swift is helping botany gain celebrity status

Feedback is delighted to learn that researchers have discovered what Taylor Swift is accidentally doing to rescue the science of plants from mid-ness. We never miss a beat, so Feedback, prompted by assistant news editor and Swiftie Alexandra Thompson, has been taking a close look at a major paper in the Annals of Botany, published in August. It is called "Dance with plants: Taylor Swift's music videos as advance organizers for meaningful learning in botany" . The thesis is that high school students exhibit "a general low interest in plants", leading to "plant blindness". Teachers struggling to convey the magic of botany are repeating material and are getting sick of it.
