David Higgins, a senior double-majoring in Genetics and Plant Biology, was featured in the CALS Student Perspective. David spent the summer working in the lab of Dr. Bob Franks on the molecular genetic regulation of flower development in Arabidopsis thaliana. David's research was funded by a prestigious Undergraduate Fellowship Award from the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB). David will continue to work in the Franks lab during his senior year and will present his work at NCSU Undergradute Research Symposium in the spring. David also plans to present the results of his research in Austin, Texas at the ASPB annual meeting in the summer of 2012. David plans to attend graduate school and earn a Ph.D in Plant Biology or a related discipline. A full description and video of David's activities can be viewed online at the CALS Student Perspective.
