Event Details

 Topic:    Epigenetics:  How environmental influences          
                       are inherited across generations    
       
 

How our bodies develop and age is a complex process. DNA is not the whole story and nature versus nurture is not so clear cut. 

 

While every cell in our body contains the same genetic information, it’s epigenetics (or “outside genetics”) that distinguishes your muscle cells from brain cells  Epigenetic research is revealing how nature interacts with nurture and what it means for, not just our individual health, but our children and grandchildren.

 

Come hear about it (in plain language – no background in science required) and talk it over with pioneering epigeneticist Dr. Shirley Taylor of the VCU Massey Cancer Center.

Shirley M. Taylor, Ph.D    link to biography

   
 

Researcher in the Cancer Molecular Genetics program and co-director of the Biological Macromolecule Shared Resource Core at VCU Massey Cancer Center as well as an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at VCU School of Medicine.

Science Pub RVA

Science Pub RVA connects curious citizens and creative scientists over a sip of some sort at  informal gatherings in non-academic settings.

What to expect  A short presentation by a local scientist followed by a dialogue among the attendees and with a local scientist. 

What to bring  All you need bring is smidge of interest - no background in science is needed. Sipping on a glass of water at these free, open-to-the-public events is completely copacetic.  Should you want to quench your thirst another way, or chew on something other than an interesting topic, you'll need some moola.

Help us keep the conversation going  Science Pub RVA is an independent, citizen endeavor seeking sponsors and donors to promote dialogue between the public and local scientists.
