The channel of Tony Serrano was suggested by google (sometimes profiling is useful not only for advertising but also fr the viewer) and I immediatley had a crunch on him. The character has something of the characters of Dickens: he is self-educated. has a a foul mout,, he is covered in tattoos, but his knwoledge of botany is extraordinary and really up to date: he is an amateur, but he knows not only the name of plants but laso the last findings of molecular phylogeny. But what strikes me the most is that apart from this vas t knowledge, he masters the scientific methos wonderflly, uin a mnner that I rarely find in many academicians, Many acadamicians are professional, opyblish a lot, are familiar with all the academic fads of the moment, but cannot be considered really heirs of Galileo. Tony Serrano is a trucl diver but he is a real scientists. In the video about unathorized urban forestry he shows to udnerstand deeply not o0nly botany but also ecology, and ecology requires systemic thinking, a rarirty today,.
