International desk:
Evolutionary biologist Dr. Toby Kiers, a world-renowned expert on mycorrhizal networks, is being awarded the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement for her “transformative” work, the Tyler Prize Executive Committee announced yesterday.
“With 90% of our most diverse underground fungal systems unprotected, urgent action is needed to incorporate fungal data into global restoration plans,” said Kiers.
