The AGA Distinguished Lectures

Distinguished Lecturer 2022

David Haig was born in Canberra and grew up in Sydney. He received his degrees from Macquarie University. He was a Royal Society Endeavour Fellow at Oxford and then a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows. He is now George Putnam Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and chair of the Australian Studies Committee at Harvard University. His main research interests are maternal-fetal relations, intragenomic conflict, and the evolution of plant life cycles. He still misses Aussie birdlife.
