Flagged for Verification

  • Block 518 (Line 2071): [VERIFY: "antitranspirants" — audio may say "anti-desiccants" or similar; corrected from "antitransference" based on arboricultural context]
  • Block 278/331/337: [VERIFY: "Koeser" — confident this is Dr. Andrew Koeser (UF), but confirm spelling against published work]
  • Block 576 (Line 2303): [VERIFY: "Norma" — name of audience commenter as read by Dr. Pennisi; cannot confirm spelling]
  • Block 602–603 (Lines 2407–2411): [VERIFY: Speaker attribution confusion — Ryan Klein's statement about UF Environmental Horticulture department dissolving ("we are no more as of the first of the year... I'm in forestry now") is split across blocks with Bodie Pennisi attributed to Block 603. Audio review needed to confirm who says what. Cannot split blocks per SRT rules.]
