(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh is a Professor of Plant Science at the University of Washington. She has served as the President of the society for Plant Signaling and Behavior. Early life and education Van Volkenburgh was born to Robert Heber and Jean Brown in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Van Volkenburgh became interested in biology during high school. She studied botany at Duke University, and earned her Bachelor's degree in 1973. She was most interested in plant physiology and biochemical function. She nearly majored in economics because her mother recommended education that might lead to a paying job like being a lawyer or economist, but found that she learned better the life sciences. She also chose plant biology to avoid the stress brought to bear on the topics by premedical students at her school. After graduating, Van Volkenburgh worked as a technician in the Smithsonian Institution Botany Department and at the Duke University Phytotron. Van Volkenburgh earned her doctoral degree at the University of Washington, where she investigated how light regulates the rate of leaf expansion. She spent her early career in University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and moved to Lancaster University as a NATO Fellow for a postdoctoral fellowship.
