Laz the Plant Scientist

The science of medicinal fungi

Events: The science of medicinal fungi, and the history and politics behind herbalism, Shroomversity Challenge, and cooking workshop with Chippy

I am a medicinal plant scientist, ethnopharmacologist, writer, and herbal medicine formulator.

I am currently doing my PhD at Kew Gardens and UCL School of Pharmacy in archiving the indigenous medicines of Cyprus, with the aim to create a citizen science method so that ethnobotanical wisdom can be conserved globally by the people.

I am also the founder of Laz The Plant Scientist, board member of the McKenna Academy and science advisor for Herbal Reality.
