Doris Vickers (born 1980) is an Austrian archaeoastronomer and content manager for the Unesco Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy.[1]
She was a global co-ordinator of the Ancient Skies project, along with Ruediger Schulz.[2] The project began in 2006 aiming to create a knowledge base of human cultures and their knowledge of astronomy, with the vision "One Planet – One Mankind – One Sky – One Knowledgebase", and as of July 2016[update] is "currently transferring the complete project to a new environment".[3]
In February 2016 she appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. Her hypothetical donation to this imaginary museum was a star clock.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
