Listen "Special Issue Podcast: Evolutionary Consequences of Epigenetic Inheritance"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is a celebration of the Heredity Special Issue: Evolutionary Consequences of Epigenetic Inheritance. Join us as we talk about the motivation behind the Special Issue with Editor Dr Foteini Spagopoulou. Then, PhD student Erin Macartney discusses the role of paternal epigenetic inheritance—a particular focus of the issue— and Dr Yuan-Ye Zhang explains her experiential work on the evolutionary potential of epigenetic variation. Importantly, this episode also celebrates the achievements of ambitious students. Tune in and find out what we mean!
