Heather is a Masters student in the Genetics Graduate Program at UBC. She is planning to do her thesis on molecular evolution in anthocyanin biosynthetic genes (genes that make flowers colourful, in other words). Heather is a Vancouverite born and bred, and plants make her happy. No, she doesn\'t smoke them, she identifies them! So if you see someone on Main Mall bending over to get a really good look at some weed sprouting up from the sidewalk, it\'s probably her.
