Ohio University’s Science Café Event to Explore Plant Growth in Space with Dr. Sarah Wyatt

Dr. Sarah Wyatt will be the featured speaker at the final Science Café event of the spring semester 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. Attendees can receive free coffee coupons for the first 50 attendees in person.

In her presentation titled “Growing (Plants) Beyond Gravity,” Dr. Wyatt will explore the role gravity plays in plant growth and development. She will discuss how gravity affects the positioning of leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seeds, and fruits. Dr. Wyatt and her students will showcase their research on the effects of gravity on plants, including recent experiments conducted on the International Space Station.

Dr. Wyatt is a professor in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio University, where she specializes in studying molecular mechanisms of signaling in plant responses, focusing on how plants react to gravity.

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. For more information about the Science Café series, please visit the website or contact Roxanne Malé-Brune at male-bru@ohio.edu
