The
Editor
Dr. William Blackhall (BSc/MSc/PhD), the Editor, lives in
Canada. His early training in zoology led to a BSc from the
University of Guelph in Wildlife Biology. After working at
Canada's National Museum of Natural Sciences (now the
Museum of Nature) in Canada's capital, Ottawa, Dr.
Blackhall entered the field of plant breeding with the
Alberta Wheat Pool, BioTechnica Canada, and Pioneer Hi-Bred
International. Eventually, his interests turned to the
molecular aspects of life, particularly genetics. A return
to university led to an MSc from the University of Alberta
in molecular phylogenetics of fish and a PhD in the
molecular genetics of drug resistance in parasites from
McGill University in Montreal. Dr. Blackhall has conducted
scientific research at universities in Canada, Australia,
and Germany and has edited biological documents over a
period of 30 years.
