Life

He studied botany at the University of Vienna, obtaining his doctorate in 1907. From 1905 he served as an assistant at the botanical institute in Vienna. In 1925 he was appointed curator to the Natural History Museum.

His earlier research involved scientific excursions to Switzerland (1906), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1909), followed by an expedition to Mesopotamia and Kurdistan (1910). On behalf of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, he traveled to China in 1914, performing botanical research in the provinces of Yunnan (1914, 1915, 1916), Sichuan (1914), Guizhou (1917), Hunan (1917, 1918), and Kweichow. In China he also undertook cartographic surveys. He returned to Vienna in 1919, and devoted his time and energy to the study of Chinese flora.[2]

He was the author of Naturbilder aus Südwest-China : Erlebnisse und Eindrücke eines österreichischen Forschers während des Weltkrieges (1927), later translated into English as "A botanical pioneer in South West China : experiences and impressions of an Austrian botanist during the First World War".[3]

gollark: Oh, right, the actual video: this is an amateur potatOS security researcher revealing a bug they found.
gollark: So the general and robust fix for this would be to stop doing I/O this way for anything but performance-sensitive and fairly robust (terminal, FS) I/O and API stuff, but PotatOS has so much legacy code that that would actually be very hard.
gollark: As it turns out, you can take a perfectly safe function with out of sandbox access and make it very not safe by controlling what responses it gets from HTTP requests and whatever.
gollark: And *another* Lua quirk more particular to CC is a heavy emphasis on event-driven I/O via coroutines.
gollark: The FS layer is actually fine, probably, apart from insufficiently flexible filesystem virtualization; the issue is that since this is really easy, many other potatOS features interact this way.
