Weed as a saving angel

Water boards in the Netherlands consider the water plant Azolla to be a notorious weed. Scientists however, see the plant as a powerhouse that could provide sustainable animal feed. In the last October 3rd, they focuse on the question whether Azolla could cool down the earth again. Together with colleagues from the Geosciences faculty, UU-student Laura Dijkhuizen talks about this research and the many special features of this floating plant.
