Charlotte Kipling

Charlotte Kipling, née Harrison (7 June 1919 – 9 August 1992) was a statistician and ichthyologist. After reading up on economics at Newnham College in Cambridge, she went on to be a cypherist during World War II. She was later hired as a statistician at Ferry House, Windermere, carrying out calculations for the staff at the Freshwater Biological Association (FBA). This sparked her interest in fish biology, and led her to publish thirty-two papers on various subjects about fish biology. In 1972, as a part of the Windermere Perch and Pike Project, she worked with her team and discovered how commercial fishing nets led to the over fishing and rapid decrease in the Perch population.[1] She was later deemed a fellow of the Statistical Society and a member of the Institute of Biology.[2]

gollark: Inconveniently enough, both of them rely heavily on mutable state and are hard to test.
