Hello my PB friends! It is once again Tuesday, thanks to the linear progression of time. That means we're gathering to share the most interesting things we've learned from our reading this week. Whether it's a cool fact or a realization about yourself or human nature, this is the place to share it.

As always, a big hat tip to acidicchaos for starting this tradition and giving me the green light to continue it.

Just this morning while listening to How Flowers Made Our World by David George Haskell, I learned about the wonderful organism that is SEA GRASS. Sea grass is neither a grass nor an algae/seaweed, but its own awesome thing. It grew on land but at some point in its evolution it said "You know what, I'm taking my lignan and going back to the ocean." Like its true grass counterpart, it performs valuable carbon capture work and serves as habitat for many critters; it also helps with removing pollutants from ocean water. Let's hear it for sea grass, the unsung MVP of marine environments!

What have you learned this week?
