Meet the Authors – Exploring Insights on Research Methods for Plants in Space
This upcoming virtual session on April 24, 2025 from 9 – 10am PT features Dr Borja Barbero Barcinella of Texas A&M University, Dr Richard Barker of Purdue University, and Dr John Z Kiss of Florida Institute of Technology, speaking on the following publications, respectively:
- Arabidopsis telomerase takes off by uncoupling enzyme activity from telomere length maintenance in space
- Transcriptional response of Arabidopsis thaliana’s root-tip to spaceflight
- Meta-analysis of the space flight and microgravity response of the Arabidopsis plant transcriptome
- Efficacy of the Random Positioning Machine as a Terrestrial Analogue to Microgravity in Studies of Seedling Phototropism
“Meet the Authors” offers a unique opportunity for audience members to be an active participant in the interviews and to ask questions directly to research leaders. This interactive format promotes collaboration, sparks new ideas and conversations around critical topics. Join us as we bring the latest scientific discoveries to the forefront and foster a community of learning through Open Science. Registration is required to attend this virtual session.
