Plant Telomeres in Space with Borja Barbero Barcenilla (GotG59)
Hello, Gardeners of the Galaxy! It’s time for another exciting episode, and our Mission Specialist this time is the wonderful Borja Barbero Barcenilla, who is talking about what happens to plant telomeres in space. Borja and I had a brilliant chat about his breathtaking research, including an upcoming flight experiment, a special mutant Arabidopsis strain, and the sci-fi experience of putting your plants into a particle accelerator. And if you’ve ever wondered what plant a Spaniard would choose to take into space, well… you won’t want to miss it!
