Bio:

In 1958, I graduated from Blackburn College, a work-college in Illinois, my hope was to become a biology teacher at the high school level. This was considered a realistic aspiration for a woman, because at that time independent women scientists were extremely rare. As part of my preparation at Northwestern University, I felt that I should enhance my knowledge in plant biology and thus, under the tutelage of Howard J. Arnott, a recent young professor from UC Berkeley, I become exposed to plant biology with great appreciation for Katherine Esau’s excellent Plant Anatomy (1953) book.
