She has also had many other academic successes, awards, and recommendations. She has had many research highlights, most notably the discovery of yeast diversity associated with fungus-feeding and wood-inhabiting beetles, and is known to many as being вЂњThe BlackwellвЂќ in Alexopoulos, Mims & Blackwell (1996, Introductory Mycology, 4th edn, New York: John Wiley), the famous mycological textbook.
