Gravity-Defying Plant Growth: Dr. Sarah Wyatt to Speak at Ohio University’s Spring Science Café Event

Dr. Sarah Wyatt will be the guest speaker for the final Science Café event of the spring semester on Wednesday, April 3 at 5 p.m. The 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’s 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 their research on studying the effects of gravity on plants, including recent experiments conducted aboard the International Space Station.

Dr. Sarah Wyatt is a professor in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology within the College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio University. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms of signaling in plant responses, particularly how plants react to gravity.

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. For more information about this event or to learn more about Dr. Wyatt’s work, please visit the Science Café website or contact Roxanne Malé-Brune at male-bru@ohio.edu
