Donald H. Pfister, associate professor of Biology will officially take over as curator of the Farlow Herbarium and Library July 1.
Yeah, Right
Pfister, whose scientific specialty is mycology--the study of fungi--has managed the gerbarium and library unofficially for six years since coming to Harvard in 1974, but his recent appointment makes the position permanent.
Pfister was also appointed to a full professorship in the Biology department.
The largest university-associated collection of lower-order plants in the world, the herbarium is located on Divinity Ave. The library houses more than 60,000 books, papers, and specimens used by scientists performing research.
