Old Remedies, Modern Chemistry: Meet the Institute

From willow bark to modern tablets, many medicines began as plants. This first episode introduces the Australian Institute of Pharmacognosy in Cardwell, far north Queensland, and its 2025 to 2029 plan to connect traditional plant knowledge with modern chemical analysis.

Nothing in this episode is a prescription or a dose. If you want to use a herb, consult a degree-qualified herbalist with competencies and adequate training in pharmacognosy.

Dr Luke Iggulden, Chief Scientific Officer, made the episode from the Institute's Journal and monograph material. Jesse Kirby, Head of Community Outreach, wrote the title and show notes and scheduled the release.
