Ian's beginning skill and one that he is expected to take. Allows you to read the effects of fruit gained from expeditions so you can tell your crew that it's totally safe to eat that weird alien fruit, honest!

Hua can take this skill to assist with the plant caring but she's more likely to benefit from going on expeditions to find more fruits.
