Review | The Man Who Made Plants Write: Jagadish Chandra Bose's essays rediscovered
Sumana Roy translated Jagadish Chandra Bose’s 1922 Bengali essays into The Man Who Made Plants Write. Bose used his own instruments to show that plants feel pain and fatigue like humans. While many scientists mocked his work, these rediscovered writings show his grand ambition to link all living things.
