DAVID B. APPLEMAN                        

David started as a research assistant while working to complete his thesis, which he obtained from UC Berkeley in 1935.  He then worked for the Experiment Station in Los Angeles, part of the University of California's College of Agriculture (>) in the Division of Irrigation and Soils, as an instructor, assistant professor, associate professor and, from 1953, full professor.  Starting in 1960 over a period of years the agricultural program was phased out at Los Angeles, but David remained at UCLA in the Department of Botany and Plant Biochemistry.  Later he was appointed emeritus professor and continued going to his office in the Botany Building into his 80s.
