What is your hometown? Where did you grow up?
I’m from St. Louis, Missouri, and happy to be back in the Midwest.
What is your educational/professional background, including your previous position?
I’m a chemist by training and throughout my training and career have become more and more enamored with the chemistry that microorganisms do and produce. I did my undergraduate at a liberal arts college called Drury University and studied chemistry, math, physics and Spanish. What I liked most was that everyone had to minor in Global Studies which encouraged me to think about the societal and philosophical implications of the scientific work I do. I earned my Ph.D. in bioinorganic chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) working with Bob Blankenship on mechanisms of energy conversion and conservation in photosynthesis.
