Richard Buggs
Richard Buggs studied Natural Sciences at University of Cambridge, specialising in plant science. He did a DPhil at the University of Oxford in plant evolutionary ecology, and post-doctoral research at the University of Florida in plant evolutionary genetics. He moved to Queen Mary University of London as a research fellow funded by the Natural Sciences Research Council, and eventually became a Professor there. He also works as a Senior Research Leader at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. Today his research is mainly on the evolutionary genomics of trees, understanding how they adapt to new pests and pathogens and climate change. His work explores what evolutionary mechanisms can and cannot do, and helps us care for creation.
