Calvin Blackman Bridges (January 11, 1889 – December 27, 1938) was an American scientist, known for his contributions to the field of genetics. Along with Alfred Sturtevant and H.J. Muller, Bridges was part of the famous fly room of Thomas Hunt Morgan at Columbia University.
== Early life ==
Calvin Blackman Bridges was born in Schuyler Falls, New York in 1889 to the parents of Leonard Bridges and Charlotte Blackman. Tragically, Calvin's mother died when he was two years old, and his father died a year after his mother's death, leaving Calvin Bridges an orphan. Following the death of his parents, Bridges was taken in and raised by his grandmother. Despite now being known in the scientific world as one of the most influential researchers regarding ''Drosophila melanogaster'', it took Bridges several years to complete high school, graduating when he was 20 years old. However, despite this set back, Bridges moved on to be an outstanding student at Columbia University, where he attended both for undergraduate and postgraduate school. While taking a class on zoology, Bridges met Thomas Hunt Morgan. This started a relationship that would lead to many important discoveries in the scientific world regarding genetics and evolution. Calvin Bridges went on to marry Gertrude Ives and have four children. Bridges was known to be both brilliant and very kind and considerate. 〔"Bridges, Calvin Blackman."

In 1938 he died of syphilis.
