Why Is Norman Davidson Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, James Norman Davidson CBE PRSE FRS was a British biochemist, pioneer molecular biologist and textbook author. The Davidson Building at the University of Glasgow is named for him. Life He was the only child of Wilhelmina Ibberson Foote and James Davidson FRSE FSA a lawyer, Treasurer of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland and originally from Aberdeenshire. He was born in Edinburgh on 5 March 1911 and lived in the family home of 30 Bruntsfield Gardens in the south of the city. He was educated locally, at George Watson's College, where he was dux.
