Wood scientist Dr Dan Ridley-Ellis (Edinburgh Napier University) asks what we all think about the purpose of trees. How should we decide which kinds of trees to plant so that future generations won’t be annoyed by our decisions? Physicist Dr Tyler Shendruk (The University of Edinburgh) applies physics to biology. But lately he's started wondering... Is he an unwitting soldier in physics' imperial conquest of science? Is he the bad guy? A comedic reckoning with scientific imperialism.
