Acharius Medal
__NOTOC__ The Acharius Medal is awarded by the International Association for Lichenology (IAL) for lifetime achievement in lichenology. The organization resolved at its 1990 meeting that it would simultaneously honor professional achievement and commemorate Erik Acharius (recognized as the "Father of Lichenology") by presenting a medal in his name. The first Acharius Medal was made in 1846 by the Royal Swedish Mint for the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, although the original purpose for that medal is not known. Because the Swedish Mint still had the dies for the original medal, the IAL arranged for new medals to be made. The first of the new medals were awarded in that same year (1992) at the association's congress in Båstad, Sweden. The medal The medal is silver, with Acharius' profile on one side and the recipient's name on the other. Recipients Source: 2021: * Per Magnus Jørgensen * James D.

Teuvo Ahti
Teuvo ("Ted") Tapio Ahti (born 1934) is a Finnish botanist and lichenologist. He has had a long career at the University of Helsinki that started in 1963, and then following his retirement in 1997, at the Botanical Museum of the Finnish Museum of Natural History. Known as a specialist of the lichen family Cladoniaceae, Ahti has published more than 280 scientific publications. A ''Festschrift'' was dedicated to him in 1994, and in 2000 he was awarded the prestigious Acharius Medal for lifetime contributions to lichenology. Education and career Ahti started developing an interest in botany at the age of 15, when he worked on a class project involving collecting 100 species of plants. His attention turned to lichens when a classmate who had worked for Veli Räsänen pointed them out during a birdwatching excursion in Helsinki. His interest was further fuelled when a couple of years later, he had to pass a test on identification of forest floor lichens and bryophytes as part of an ...

Marie-Agnès Letrouit-Galinou
Marie-Agnès Letrouit-Galinou (''née'' Galinou, born 1931) is a French botanist, mycologist, and lichenologist, known for her contribution to revolutionizing the scientific understanding of ascomycete development and classification. Education and career After secondary education at the in Rennes, Marie-Agnès Galinou graduated in 1951 with her undergraduate degree from the ''Faculty des Sciences'' of the University of Rennes. She married in the mid-1950s and changed her surname to Letrouit-Galinou. She received in 1958 her doctorate from the University of Paris with a doctoral thesis on the comparative anatomy and ontogeny of discolichen ascomata, ''i.e.'' those lichenized ascomycetes in which the fruiting body has a rounded or oval shape like a disc. Her doctoral supervisor was Marius Chadefaud. David L. Hawksworth refers her as one of Chadefaud's "gang of four" — consisting of her with André Bellèmere, Marie-Claude Janex-Favre, and Agnès Jarguey-Leduc. Under Chadefaud's in ...
