davies: our basic rearch program is to study large pieces of forest. we set up these research plots which are 50 hectares in area, typically -- so that's a kilometer by half a kilometer -- in which we study every single tree species that occurs in those areas. we do it all one by one. we go out, we start at the corner of these big plots and we tag and map and measure every tree bigger th a centimeter in diameter. that's as big as a little sapling in your garden. and we monitor everything. we have, in some of our research plots, more species of trees than the whole of north america or the whole of europe. that's a phenomenal number of species -- 1,000 species or 1,200 species in one plot. narrator: at 17 forest-dics plots throughout latin america africa, and asia davies' project, in collaboration with the arnold arboretum of harvard university, maintains an active database of more than 3 million trees of 6,000 species. dr. davies: this is a huge data set, which no one else in the world is doing this kind of research. and the idea of doing it right acros

do you remember wendy davis? wendy davis is a democratic state senator from ft. worth, texas. she is expected next month to announce she is running for governor of texas. and, of course, it is an uphill battle for any democrat to wage a statewide political fight in texas, even now as texas is trending more purple and democrats are making strong efforts there. it's going to be tough for her to win that race. the reason that wendy davis is thought to have a better chance than any other democrat in texas is in part because of her national profile. and wendy davis' national profile was built, largely, on this. these are her awesome pinkish mizuno sneakers, which apparently started selling very, very well in online retail sales after wendy davis wore them for 13 hours, while she held court and filibustered in the texas state legislature. the rules in texas for this kind of thing are really strict. not only can you not sit down and not stop talking, you can't lean on anything. you can't touch your desk which you're standing right next to.
