On Wednesday, April 3 at 5 p.m., Dr. Sarah Wyatt will be the featured guest for the final Science Café event of the spring semester at Ohio University. This event will take place at The Front Room Coffeehouse in Baker University Center and will also be live-streamed via YouTube. In addition, free coffee coupons will be provided to the first 50 people who arrive in person.
Dr. Wyatt is a professor in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology within the College of Arts and Sciences, and her research focuses on molecular mechanisms of signaling in plant responses, particularly how plants react to gravity. The presentation, entitled “Growing (Plants) Beyond Gravity,” will explore how gravity impacts plant growth and the positioning of various plant parts such as leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seeds, and fruits. Dr. Wyatt and her students will showcase how they study the effects of gravity on plants, including recent experiments conducted aboard the International Space Station.
The Science Café series at Ohio University is made possible thanks to support from the Ohio University Research Division and the Ohio University Chapter of Sigma Xi.
