Bernice Giduz Schubert

Bernice Giduz Schubert (October 6, 1913 – August 14, 2000) was an American botanist. Her academic career developed over 53 years as a professor and herbarium curator with Harvard University.

She made many collection trips in Mexico and the United States.

Early life and education

Bernice Giduz Schubert was born in 1913, in Boston, Massachusetts. She earned an undergraduate degree at the Massachusetts College of Agriculture (1935), and graduate degrees at Radcliffe College (M. A. 1937, Ph.D. 1941).[1]

Career

Dr. Schubert began her professional life working at the Gray Herbarium at Harvard. While there, she served as assistant to Merritt Fernald in compiling his Gray's Manual of Botany (1951) and Edible Wild Plants of Eastern North America (1958). She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1949 to work on African plants in Belgium.

Upon returning to America in 1952, Schubert worked for the United States Department of Agriculture, classifying Central American species of possible medical value. She became associate curator at Arnold Arboretum in 1962, where she was editor of the journal, taught undergraduate and graduate classes, and advised students. She retired from Harvard in 1984.[2]

Relazioni proibite nell'ebraismo

Le relazioni proibite nell'Ebraismo (in ebraico איסורי ביאה‎?, Isurey bi'ah) sono quelle relazioni intime vietate dalle proibizioni della Torah e anche dalle ingiunzioni rabbiniche.
