Janice Lord

Janice Lord is a botanist with a diverse portfolio of work centered around New Zealand native plants – how they interact with other organisms such as pollinators and mutualistic fungi, how they can be used to mitigate climate change and its impacts, and how we can incorporate vibrant native ecosystems into a sustainable future. She gained her PhD from the University of Canterbury then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Macquarie University, Australia, for 5 years before joining the University of Otago Botany Department as a Lecturer in 1997.
