Autorenporträt
Dr. Diana Bizecki Robson Dr. Robson, BSc (Hon), MSc, PhD has been conducting rare plant surveys and vegetation research in the prairies as a graduate student, environmental consultant, and natural history museum curator for over thirty years. As the Manitoba Museum's current Curator of Botany, she cares for a herbarium with over fifty thousand specimens, and has interpreted her intimate familiarity with the province's botanical diversity in fifteen temporary exhibits and four permanent galleries over the last twenty one years. Dr. Robson's research includes several comprehensive studies of wild plants and their pollinators in prairie ecosystems. As a sessional lecturer at the University of Saskatchewan, she taught several courses in plant taxonomy. In 2016, she received the James Fletcher Award for her paper describing the ecology of a new Canadian endemic species of water lily; and in 2018, she received the Bruce Naylor Award for her exceptional contributions to the study of museum based natural history in Canada.
