美国孢粉学家Alan Keith Graham (1934--)是一位很高产的研究者。1962年,他从密歇根大学(University of Michigan)获得博士学位,他的导师很有名-- Chester Arthur Arnold(1901--1977)。
Alan Keith Graham在俄亥俄州的Kent State University生物科学系(Ashtabula, OH)工作了近40年,积累了大量孢粉学研究标本(slides)。Alan Keith Graham退休后,他的所有标本(slides)被托孤给史密松研究院隶属的一个学术机构。
Alan Keith Graham教授退而不休,目前担任国际著名的密苏里植物园古植物学和孢粉学研究与管理负责人。

∮4 标本托孤
以下英文记录了Alan Keith Graham托孤标本的一些情况和重要科学意义:
STRI receives Graham PalynologicalCollection (October06, 2008)
STRI received the best collection of Neotropical pollen in the world, the Graham Palynological Collection, thanks to the generosity of Alan Graham, professor emeritus at the Kent State University and currently curator at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
This collection began as part of a palynology laboratory set up in the herbarium of the University of Texas in 1954, and expanded with original preparations, and exchanges with numerous laboratories throughout the world. It comprises over 25,000 pollen slides of modern taxa, thousands of pollen slides from Graham's work on the geological history of the forests of Central America,pollen residues and an impressive collection of literature. The original preparations can be referenced to a specific herbarium collection, allowing scientists to verify the identification of fossil material and specimens used in taxonomic studies.
STRI is honored to be hosting this collection, which is an invaluable resource to scientists. “Soon, the CTPA plans to have all components in digital format,to share it on the web with everyone who might be interested, worldwide” states STRI stratigrapher Carlos Jaramillo.
