Louisiana State University biology professor Jim Moroney studies algae photosynthesis in a laboratory inside the university's Life Sciences Building. Moroney's work is funded through a $45 million Gates Foundation initiative to explore ways to improve photosynthesis in crops. The goal is to increase yields of rice, soybeans and other crops by making them better at converting sunlight to food energy.
