Anne Pringle PhD

Dr.Pringle is currently Associate Professor in the departmnt of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. She is interested in the biology of species whose life histories and body plans seem very different from our own. DNA technologies have facilitated an explosion of knowledge related to the diversity, biogeography, and autecologies of fungi. She has received Mendelsohn Excellence in Mentoring Award, Fannie Cox Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching.
