Victor Albert, UB Empire Innovation Professor in Biological Sciences, is quoted in an article in Wired Science about the carnivorous plant bladderwort and how it sucks in its prey in about half a millisecond. As meat eaters, these plants flourish in rough and strange habitats, he says. "They're just crazy." The article also appeared in Science News, the magazine of the Society for Science & the Public.
