Biography

Professor Charles Baehni was born on August 21, 1906 in Geneva, Switzerland. He was educated at the University of Geneva, and was supervised by Professor Robert Chodat where in 1932 he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science. That same year he was appointed as an assistant at the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva. In 1934, he studied at the Botanical Garden of the Field Museum in Chicago, and while in the United States, he made many trips to various parts of the country and collected extensive botanical findings.[2]

In 1941, he was appointed conservator of the Botanical Garden in Geneva. He served as the Director of the Conservatory and Botanical Garden, in Geneva, Switzerland for twenty years.[3] He wrote more than one hundred scientific papers and his main interest was in the Sapotaceae. He also contributed to a number of other botanical families including the Ulmaceae, Lacistemaceae, and Violaceae.[2]

gollark: If it became possible to grow babies externally or conveniently move them, that might be an acceptable solution too.
gollark: To rethingy: I think that, regardless of whose body or creation or whatever it is, the person who is actually carrying it and bears the associated issues of having it glued to their circulatory system and such should get to decide whether to keep doing that.
gollark: A fetus contains some of your genes but ~all of its materials come from what the mother eats/processes, so that isn't relevant either.
