Beyond Gravity: Exploring the Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Signaling in Space

Dr. Sarah Wyatt will be the featured speaker at the final Science Café event of the spring semester, taking place on Wednesday, April 3 at 5 p.m. at The Front Room Coffeehouse in Baker University Center. The event will also be live-streamed on YouTube.

As a professor in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Wyatt specializes in studying molecular mechanisms of signaling in plant responses, with a focus on how plants react to gravity. Her presentation, titled “Growing (Plants) Beyond Gravity,” will explore this topic in more detail, discussing how gravity affects the positioning of leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seeds, and fruits.

Dr. Wyatt and her students have conducted research on the effects of gravity on plants, including recent experiments conducted on the International Space Station. Free coffee coupons will be given to the first 50 attendees in person as a thank you for coming to this informative event.

The Science Café series at Ohio University is made possible by the support of the Ohio University Research Division and the Ohio University Chapter of Sigma Xi.
