He then continued on to the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology, in 1973 and 1978 respectively.[2]
In 1979, Pollini began his teaching career as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Classics at Johns Hopkins University. A year later, he was hired to a dual role there as Assistant Professor of Classics and Curator of the Archeological Museum. In 1987, Pollini moved to the University of Southern California as Associate Professor of Classics and Art History. Four years later, he was made Professor of Art History, and in 2018, the professorship was endowed as the USC Associates Professor of Art History.

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.
