(Attention Mr Dobson. Though you probably already have him listed.)
George Smith - Research Chemist.
George Smith, born in 1895, went to Accrington Grammar School and Manchester University, graduating in 1916 and gaining an MSc two years later. He then worked as a Research Chemist for Boardman & Baron in Great Harwood from 1919 to 1930 and published works on textile chemistry. He published his first mycological paper in 1928 entitled ‘The identification of fungi causing mildew in cotton goods: the genus Aspergillus', publishing part 2 in 1931, the year he moved to The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where he was to stay until he retired in 1961. He was involved in the discovery of the antibiotic 'patulin' but was more interested in mycology and became a world authority both on aspergillus and penicillius. During the second world war he became one of the first specialists in 'bio-deterioration', preventing mould causing equipment sent to the tropics to deteriorate.
