Why Is Bland Finlay Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Bland J. Finlay FRS was a British biologist. Career Finlay received his bachelor's and PhD degrees from the University of Stirling. He worked as a lecturer at University of Jos for a year, before moving to the Freshwater Biological Association's laboratory at Windermere where he was based from 1978 to 2003. Many of his research studies were conducted at the nearby pond of Priest Pot in the Lake District. He then worked at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology from 2003 to 2007. In 2007 he was appointed Professor of Microbial Ecology, Queen Mary, University of London, before retiring in 2012. His research focused on the ecology and physiology of single celled eukaryotic microbes , particularly those from low-oxygen habitats.
