For Dow's participants, seeds encapsulate intergenerational knowledge, practice, and relationships - all of which can be sensuously embodied across intergenerational kinship practices of taste and terroir. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Professor Tessa Roseboom when she gave a seminar about the Dutch Winter Famine Birth Cohort Study at my home university. By wrapping her genetic biography into an intergenerational tempero-spatial narrative, she enfolded a series of taken-for-granted assumptions surrounding reproduction and kinship that underpin not only the dominant discourses of DOHaD and nutritional and environmental epigenetics, but also the taken-for-granted worlding of birth cohorts. Audience members were immediately drawn closer to the science through this intimate sharing of biographical history, as Tessa's presence served to simultaneously reach into the past and project into the future through dual idioms of kinship and birth cohorts.
