Bidder (surname) .
George Parker Bidder (21 May 1863 – 31 December 1953) was a British marine biologist who primarily studied sponges . He was the President of the Marine Biological Association (MBA) from 1939 to 1945.
Life and career [ edit ]
George Parker Bidder was born on 21 May 1863 in London, to barrister George Parker Bidder Jr. (1836–1896) and Anna McClean (1839–1910). His paternal grandfather was George Parker Bidder , an engineer and calculating prodigy , and his maternal grandfather was John Robinson McClean , a civil engineer and member of the Liberal Party .[1] Harrow School . He then studied zoology at University College London under Ray Lankester for one year before joining Trinity College, Cambridge , where he took the Natural Sciences Tripos until 1886.[1] [2] Stazione Zoologica in Naples , Italy. He joined the MBA in 1893, becoming a member of the council (its governing body) in 1899.[1] Marion Greenwood and moved to Plymouth, where they stayed until 1902, when they moved to Cambridge.[1] [2] Anna McClean Bidder (1903–2001), was a zoologist and academic.
During the 1910s, Bidder suffered tuberculosis , which made him unable to work at the laboratory or take part in the First World War .[1] The Company of Biologists to save The British Journal of Experimental Biology [1]
Bidder died on 31 December 1953 in Cambridge.[1] [3]
Research [ edit ]
Bidder's research focused on sponges , especially their hydraulics. He also studied the movements bottom feeders , as well as marine geology , in particular coastal erosion .[1]
In 1932, Bidder made a major contribution to the field of biogerontology by proposing that senescence was the effect of a "regulator" responsible for ending growth.[4] [5] Alex Comfort 's 1963 study on guppy , a species that ages while growing.[6] [according to whom?
Between 1904 and 1906, Bidder conducted research that proved the East-to-West flow of North Sea currents, by releasing some 1,000 messages in bottles , designed to float a short distance above the sea bed. Finders were requested, in English, Dutch and German, to send a postcard enclosed in the bottle to the United Kingdom's Marine Biological Association in Plymouth , for a shilling reward.[7] Amrum , as late as April 2015, and its postcard was duly returned to the MBA.[8] Guinness World Records confirmed it to be the "oldest message in a bottle", as of March 2016.[9] [a]
From his youth, Bidder dedicated much of his free time to writing poems, the most famous of which is "Merlin's Youth" (1899).[10]
