This episode is brought to you by Focus Features. On March 27th, Focus Features invite you to be a part of the most explosive movie of this year's Sundance and South by Southwest Film Festival. The AI doc or how I became an apocalypticist is being called supremely entertaining and the most urgent movie of our time. The AI doc or how I became an apocalypticist rated PG-13 only in theaters March 27th. 5 a.m. I'm up with a crisp Celsius energy drink running 12 miles today. Grab a green juice, quick change, and head to work. Meetings, workshops. One more Celsius, no slowing down. Working late but obviously still meeting the girls for a little dancing. Celsius, live, fit, go. Grab a cold refreshing Celsius at your local retailer or locate now at Celsius.com. Metal hoarding plants actively suck in way more metal than normal, and they do so by making a lot more of the special proteins that plants use to take in specific nutrients from the soil.
Similar proteins transport the metal up into the leaves and trap it in cordoned off pockets within leaf cells, helping the plant wondrously evade death.
