Anne completed her undergraduate degree in chemistry at the University of Arizona and did graduate studies at the University of Utah toward a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry. She received a Master of Science degree in Biochemistry at McGill University in Montreal. She joined the EPA in 1980, working on the guidelines for pesticide registration, and later on assessment of exposure to pesticides. Her work in the 1PM unit includes editorship of’ several books and chapters on 1PM, presentations to trade groups and professional societies, participation in the USGA Green Section Research Committee, management of 1PM technology transfer grants, and development of EPA brochures on 1PM for Lawns, 1PM in Schools, and 1PM for Homeowners. This year the 1PM functions in EPA are moving to a new one-year pilot division of the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD). Anne will be one of 33 staff organized in multidisciplinary teams to accelerate the registration and reregistration of biological pesticides, encourage the development and use of safer pesticides, and promote reduce pesticide use. She will be continuing to develop educational materials to inform registrants and the public about pesticide pollution prevention and 1PM.

Review :
"Its combination of practical information with good descriptions of biology and sometimes esoteric behavioral information is rare and refreshing...This book is highly recommended both for the professional and the general reader." -Pest Management Library-Old & New "If you really want to get serious about integrated pest management (IPM), then this book should be on the top of your reading list." - New Zealand Turf Management Journal
