John Boggan

I have served a number of different support roles within the department since 1991, including Biological Diversity of the Guianas (Funk), Gesneriaceae research (Skog), and Vitaceae research (Wen).  My current duties include data management for the Type Specimen Register and collections management of the Type Specimen Herbarium.

• Master of Science, Systematic Botany (1991, Cornell University)

Information management, collections management, botanical nomenclature and typification, systematics of Gesneriaceae.
