Alison Dann
I work for Biosecurity Tasmania as the Molecular Biologist. My work consists of identifying a large variety of plant pests and diseases via PCR and DNA sequences, some possibly important in a biosecurity sense. Hence, correct identification is very important. So I have great interest in taxonomy of many organisms and love to contribute what I can.
