Optimism

Last month's BBC Focus magazine was the "optimism" issue. Instead of worrying about a future full of pollution, superbugs and extinctions, my editors at the magazine decided to highlight research that offers potential solutions for some of the big challenges facing the planet. I was asked to profile Cassandra Quave, an ethnobotanist, who studies medicinal uses of plants with a focus on treating antibiotic-resistant infections. She was billed (not by me) as a scientist "whose research might just save the world". Quite something to live up to, huh? I do like the design on this piece and it was the cover article, so here's the cover too.
