420 | Super Suberin and Franken-Potatoes

This week, hosts Scott Walters and Ariel Frame are joined by PhD candidate in the department of Biology, Jessica Sinka. Jessica studies plant biochemistry with a focus on the role of a super molecule called "suberin" in potatoes during wound healing. We learn how potato scabs form, some interesting lab techniques, Jessica's favourite potato recipe, and some great advise for grads.
