Darwish, Shireef
Shireef came from Nova Scotia to attend McGill university where he earned his B.Sc. in Botanical Science. He stayed at McGill to research plant-insect interactions for his M.Sc.
He taught the Biology of Fungi course at McGill's Macdonald campus from 2004-2006 before joining John Abbott's biology department in 2006.
Shireef is an inveterate mycophile (lover of fungi) and invites one and all to come talk about the wonderfully weird world of mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. He is passionate about the arts, particularly music and literature, and is an avid collector of vinyl records.
