Enid MacRobbie

Enid Anne Campbell MacRobbie, FRS (born 1931, Edinburgh, Scotland[1]) is a Scottish plant scientist, and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge.[2] Her specialty is biophysics, with particular interests in ion fluxes and stomata.[1]

She was appointed "to a Personal Professorship in 1987, the first woman scientist in Cambridge to be awarded a Personal Chair."[1] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1991 and of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1998.[1] She is also a Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists.[1] Roger Spanswick was a member of her laboratory.

gollark: I should probably make gollariocurrency™ at some point.
gollark: Capital WILL be exchanged for goods and services, but weirdly specific ironic™ ones.
gollark: Ah yes, LC integration, good idea.
gollark: Actually, can we have a stock market in apioforum?
gollark: This isn't insider *trading*. Insider trading would be the thing where I, hypothetically, secretly embedded a stock market into the apioforum and used my knowledge of it to influence it.
