Sarah Davis, a biology major and Hispanic studies minor, began her PLU journey with the idea that medicine and health care would be the ultimate goal, but then a couple of classes focused on plant development and global agriculture grew a new passion. “I have…
agricultural techniques can be found, and more responsible farming techniques can be implemented to help protect food growth and security. Outreach is another important component of plant biology and agriculture, because there are many misconceptions about genetic engineering in plants in particular, so direct communication between growers, scientists and consumers is needed.Anything else you’d like to share? The PLU biology/science department has been absolutely phenomenal in supporting my learning. I
