Douglas Kinghorn Presentation

This presentation was pretty unique to me because I believe it was the only one so far that discussed plants and medicine in depth. I found it very interesting that 3/4 of the world’s population rely on plants as a resource of medicine. Also, more than 200,000 known compounds are found in vascular plants. I found it interesting to learn about the organic structures of plants as well and how they are used to make certain drugs. I also liked the fact that are speaker was able to travel the world and do what he loves for a living because that is something that I would love to do in the future.
