A while ago, I finished Michael Pollan's new book, A World Appears. Loved it! He explores sentience and consciousness, providing a survey of research in the field by a variety of different folks with a whole bunch of different viewpoints and approaches.
Highly recommended!

Last week, I came across a link to a story about bees, learning and intelligence, someplace here on the fedi. Sorry to the link source -- can't cite you because I just bookmarked the story for this weekend! It's right along the lines of research described in Pollan's book: Are plants conscious? Are insects? What can we learn about their interior lives? Once again: Super interesting. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/secrets-of-bees-adaptation-pollinators/ 2/2
