Why Is Lauri Saag Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Lauri Saag is an Estonian geneticist, mycologist and lichenologist. As of 2023 he is associate professor of population genetics at the Estonian Biocentre. Career Saag studied botany, ecology and mycology at the University of Tartu between 1995 and 2002. He wrote his master's thesis on soredial crustose lichens in Estonia. From 2002 to 2008 he also did his doctorate there on taxonomic and ecological problems of the lichen genus Lepraria, and later continued working at the university as a research assistant. Saag also carries out human population genetics research, and has been a member of the Estonian Society of Human Genetics since 2015.
