McLaughlin received a Ph.D. in Botany with a minor in Watershed Management
from the University of Arizona in 1978. He also has a Bachelor's degree
in Ecological Systems and Problems from the University of Washington
in 1972. Here at the University of Arizona he teaches Crop Ecology.
His research interests include work in new crop development, drug
discovery, and floristic plant geography. Dr. McLaughlin has received
several awards and recognition including the Outstanding Service Award,
Society for Economic Botany and the Summer Faculty Fellowship, Indiana
University, 1997. His work has been in many publications including
American Journal of Botany, Progress in Physical Geography, Journal
of Biogeography, Journal of Arid Environments, and Planta Medica.
