I find her ted talks way too anthropomorphic to be honest.

Now that nature is a complex web of mutually beneficial interactions, why not (and I'd root for this actually).

If she could remove the emotional side of things it would help I believe.

I think the mere concept of this level of communication sounds very intimate -- very emotional. I would stop focusing on whether or not the science is presented in a way you expect it to be.

I'm sorry but her link with sickness emotional support and plants synergy/exchange network is cringe at best. And I'm open minded regarding science and status quo ..

It could be. Or it could be the equivalent of people screaming at each other in all caps on the internet. We don't really know.
