In class, we pick apart why the plant is growing sideways and discuss what is involved in the process. That\u2019s something that the students may not come in wanting to know, but it\u2019s a way that I can connect with their curiosity.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is Green\u2019s eighth year at Georgia Tech. Before coming to Tech she was already familiar with the campus because she grew up in Norcross, Georgia, and both of her parents are Tech alumni. Her dad earned a B.S. in chemical engineering and a master\u2019s in nuclear engineering and was a practicing nuclear engineer, and her mom majored in and taught mathematics.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch6\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.news.gatech.edu\/features\/classroom-linda-green\u0022\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERead More: Go \u0027In the Classroom\u0027 with Linda Green.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h6\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGreen takes a team approach to teaching with both her students and fellow faculty members.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Green takes a team approach to teaching with both her students and fellow faculty members."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2015-11-09 11:51:43","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:19:54","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-11-09T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-11-09T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"467571":{"id":"467571","type":"image","title":"Linda Green","body":null,"created":"1449257147","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 19:25:47","changed":"1475895216","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:53:36","alt":"Linda Green","file":{"fid":"203797","name":"16c10303-p17-004.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/16c10303-p17-004_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/16c10303-p17-004_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1464280,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/16c10303-p17-004_0.jpg?itok=AgdI-Jif"}}},"media_ids":["467571"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.news.gatech.edu\/features\/classroom-linda-green","title":"In the Classroom with Linda Green"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.news.gatech.edu\/features\/classroom","title":"More \u0027In the Classroom\u0027 Features"}],"groups":[{"id":"1259","name":"Whistle"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[{"id":"277","name":"Biology"},{"id":"4896","name":"College of Sciences"},{"id":"147271","name":"features"},{"id":"142911","name":"in the classroom"},{"id":"27081","name":"Linda Green"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[{"id":"71871","name":"Campus and Community"}],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:victor.rogers@comm.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EVictor Rogers\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EInstitute Communications\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
