Scientist of the Week - British Phycologist Joanna M. Kain | Prominent Algologists around the World

Image
 Scientist of the Week August 2021 Prof. Joanna M. Kain     Prof.  Joanna M. Kain was a New Zealand-born British Phycologist. She was born in 1930 to an English mother and a Kiwi father and moved to London at the age of 2 and spent most of her life in the UK. Her father named her Dorothy Kain, which her mother never liked, and thus re-named her as Joanna - after her favorite doll - by this name she was known to the Phycologist world over, Joanna Jones (Kain).      Although her early education was disrupted with moves to 10 different schools, she eventually made it to University College London in 1949, where she became attracted to seaweeds under the influence of  Prof. G E Fogg. Her undergraduate research project was on patterns of intertidal zonation around the Isle of Wight. She was particularly interested in intertidal ecology, but the Institute of Seaweed Research, offered her a research problem to investigate the growth of marine phytoplankt...
