Plant biology was the factor that lured two WSU faculty members all the way from across the pond to Pullman, with a stop in between. Andrew McCubbin, associate professor in WSU’s School of Biological Sciences, and his wife Sian Ritchie, SBS clinical assistant professor, are both plant biologists at WSU.  McCubbin said he started showing interest in the discipline when he was 13.  “For me, it was hearing about the development of high yielding lines in the green revolution,” he said, “ironically in a geography class.”  The couple is originally from the United Kingdom, but came to the U.S. in the mid-90s and lived near The Pennsylvania State University, McCubbin said. He moved to the U.S. in February 1994, while Ritchie moved in March 1995.
