Pipoly graduated in 1978 with a B.Sc. in botany from
... he spent years trekking the jungles and liana forests of Central and South America and Southeast Asia. He's been dropped off by helicopter to collect samples in the most remote and least botanically known areas of Guyana, trained foresters and ecologists in Columbia, and helped found an herbarium in Peru. Pipoly has also played a part in the discovery of about 100 new plant species ...[5]
John has published 150 original research papers among internationally peer-reviewed journals and conducted fieldwork throughout the Tropical Americas, the Philippines and New Guinea. He is an authority on the classification of the
St. John's Wort plant families as well as tropical tree architectural models. For four decades he has collaborated with scientific consortia to document permanent biodiversity monitoring plots in the Americas, Caribbean, and Southeast Asia/Pacific regions.[7]
He also ran a Master Gardener Program in Florida.[5]
In Fort Lauderdale, Pipoly gave important, expert testimony in a murder case in which plant parts were mixed among human body parts.[8]
