Our EpiSeedLink PhD students are stepping in front of the camera to share their passion for science and give you a glimpse into their research within the project
Training in Science Communication
As part of their training in science communication and public engagement, our EpiSeedLink PhD students are creating short videos to present their research and key scientific topics from the project.
Video Series
These videos will be posted every two weeks on EpiSeedLink’s social media channels, giving the public a front-row view of the research questions and discoveries of the next generation of scientists.
Second Video Spotlight
The second video features Shannon Skye Sherman, PhD student at the University of Zurich, who explores how seed priming reprograms molecular and epigenetic responses in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Seed priming, a pre-germination treatment, can enhance germination and tolerance to stresses such as drought.
By integrating transcriptomic and epigenetic changes associated with priming, she aims to identify mechanisms that may inform strategies for more resilient crops.
