WATCH: Fiona Goggin – Understanding Plant Biology | Behind the Discovery
By Paden Johnson – Apr. 10, 2023
Fiona Goggin is determined to better understand our complex and beautiful world. With sustainable agricultural practices becoming increasingly important, Goggin aims to find safe and effective biological pest control solutions.
Goggin studies the interactions of plants and pests that attack their sugar transport systems. For example, Goggin studies nematodes, which cost American soybean growers billions of dollars in yield losses each year. But Goggin says working with students is what she loves most.
“But really what I’m most interested in and passionate about is helping people develop their own critical thinking skills.” – Fiona Goggin
