Why Is Eric Conn Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Eric Edward Conn was an American biochemist. His research focused on plant metabolism, specifically the intermediary metabolism of secondary plant products. Early life and education Eric Edward Conn was born on January 6, 1923, in Berthoud, Colorado. He lived with his family in Belaire, Kansas during the Great Depression and the Dust-Bowl. They moved to Fort Morgan after losing their assets. There, Conn attended high school, and earned a four-year scholarship to the University of Colorado at Boulder, becoming a first generation college student.
