Why Is Ainsley Iggo Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ainsley Iggo FRS was a New Zealand born neurophysiologist. Life He was born in Napier, New Zealand and studied at a farming college in Invercargill, where he won a bursary to study Agricultural Sciences at the University of New Zealand. There he was awarded a research scholarship to continue his studies in Britain. After gaining a BSc and an MSc in electrophysiology and neuroscience at the University of Otago in Dunedin, with a thesis on rumen digestion in sheep, he moved to Aberdeen to join the Rowett Research Institute, an agricultural research facility of the University of Aberdeen. There he was awarded a PhD for his studies on the vagus nerve of sheep.He moved to Edinburgh in 1954, where he began as a lecturer in physiology at the Medical School of the University of Edinburgh before accepting the Chair of Veterinary Physiology at the Royal School of Veterinary Studies of the University of Edinburgh in 1962. He played the major role in establishing the school, commonly known as the Dick Vet, into an internationally recognised centre of excellence, before becoming dean of the School. He remained as professor emeritus of veterinary physiology until his death.
