Angela Douglas is Emerita Daljit S. and Elaine Sarkaria Professor of Insect Physiology and Toxicology at Cornell University. She is the author of several books, including Symbiotic Interactions, Insects and Their Beneficial Microbes, and Fundamentals of Microbiome Science. We spoke to Angela about how a patch of green space, however ordinary, is a perfect place to enjoy the natural world, why you don’t need to be an expert or travel long distances to experience real nature, and why a little bit of neglect is the best way to create a wildlife-friendly backyard.
