Flora W.L. received an award to attend the University of Austin in Texas. While many women during her time studied home economics, finance and psychology she studied biology. After graduation Flora began to study the reproduction of plants helping her to understand sex differences and hormones. She was an Asian American whose husband studied alongside Mr. Oppenheimer in revolutionizing nuclear energy for future use if we were to ever live in another galaxy. Flora grew up in the Philippines where she had learned about farming from her father’s plantation. Contrary to the history of plantations, her family were good people. She grew up understanding how seasons change various elements on farmland. During her prime young adult years she helped pioneer what we call today genetically engineered food. Although she was not a big fan of the thought of GMOs, she had initially thought this would be used in a different planet per se. However, after this premature use of her research discovery, she found herself at local stores in California and throughout the States on every shelf and produce bin at her local supermarket. After this horrifying revelation of the boundless impact of science, she and her husband began to research climate change. She studied organisms living at various sea levels, earthquakes and her husband also referenced geological events to human -extraterrestrial space travel. She was a profound woman whose research is still even today highly classified.
