Who was the first Chinese pollen analyst?
Updated: Jun 21, 2020
William S. Ting was trained pollen analysis in Sweden by G. Erdtman during his PhD at University of Glasgow (1934-1937)
Ting's early paper on pollen morphology for living plants from Sinkiang (now Xinjiang) (Ting, 1949)
Palynology science is relatively young in China when compared with world historical records
Very interesting and meaningful story!
