This page of the Plant Biology Website acts as a gateway for information on scientists that work at Harvard an Cambridge Universities. It was originally planned to make information available for all of the major universities. Unfortunately I have had to abandon tat idea as it was impracticable. The pages relating to the academic staff at the aforementioned institutions are kept for reference, but will likely be deleted in the future as a consequence of a restructuring of this site.
