Why Is Wally Clark Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Walter Clive Clark was a New Zealand zoologist who specialised in the study of nematodes and pycnogonids. He was a professor at Massey University and later the University of Canterbury. Early life, family, and education Born in Christchurch on 22 October 1927, Clark was the son of Clive Harold Clark and Ellen Martha Clark . He had his early education at Bruce Bay, where his academic potential was first recognised, before moving back to Christchurch about the end of 1942. Clark later studied at Canterbury University College, graduating MSc with first-class honours in 1957. He was an assistant lecturer in biology at Christchurch Teachers' College from 1954 to 1955 and an assistant lecturer in zoology at Canterbury from 1956 to 1957. He was then a principal scientific officer in nematology in the entomology division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in Nelson from 1957 to 1964. The DSIR supported Clark to undertake doctoral studies, and he completed a PhD at Imperial College London, supervised by Bernard Peters and Charles Potter, in 1961. The title of his doctoral thesis was Systematic and morphological studies on some Enoplida Nematoda, with special reference to the soil fauna of New Zealand.
