In this episode of Miss Estruch Teach & Tell, I sit down with Rachel, biology teacher, former scientist, and epigenetics educator, to explore how teachers can make this complex topic more accessible, engaging, and meaningful for students. Drawing on her experience as a researcher and her recent training at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Rachel shares practical classroom strategies, common misconceptions, and exciting developments in the field that go far beyond the specification. We discuss: Why students often struggle with epigenetics Common misconceptions about inheritance and gene expression The role of non-coding DNA and chromatin structure The emerging science of the epigenetic clock How flipped learning can improve understanding Data analysis activities that build exam confidence Using real scientific research in the classroom The benefits of collaborating with scientists and universities How to teach a rapidly evolving area of biology with confidence Whether you teach A Level Biology, are interested in the science of gene regulation, or simply want new ideas for tackling difficult concepts, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways.","meta_description":"To get access to free resources on a wide range of biology topics, learn about upcoming teacher training courses (including a course on epigenetics this O…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1919,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/miss-estruch-teach-tell-7095349/episodes/epigenetics-explained-what-every-biology-teacher-needs-to-know-s2-e39/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/miss-estruch-teach-tell-7095349/epigenetics-explained-what-every-biology-teacher-needs-to-know-s2-e39.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
