James Hartley Ashworth FRS FRSE DSc SZS (1874- 1936) was a British marine zoologist of note. ==Life== See〔http://archiveshub.ac.uk/data/gb237-coll-285〕 He was born on 2 May 1874 in Accrington in Lancashire, the only son of James Ashworth.〔http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/769140?sid=21105758858791&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid=2129&uid=3738032〕 He spent most of his early life in Burnley, attending the Carlton Road School there. He appears to have befriended Dr James MacKenzie during his youth, due to MacKenzie’s role as the family GP, and his interest in science was awakened. MacKenzie appears to have had a mentoring role during his teenage years. Ashworth was encouraged to train, and went to Manchester to study Chemistry at Owen's College. Here he quickly found a new interest and changed to study Zoology. He then moved to London University where he received a BSc with Honours in Zoology and Botany in 1895. In 1899 he received a Doctorate in the same subject. He obtained a post in Naples in Italy where his interests began to focus upon marine biology. In 1901 he became a lecturer in Invertebrate Zoology at Edinburgh University. In 1905, under his own guidance, the University began a course training for a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Ashworth created the elements focussing upon entomology and parasitology. The course was extended to provide Diplomas in both Public Health and Tropical Veterinary Medicine. In 1909 he was awarded a new chair of Professor of Invertebrate Zoology whilst Prof James Cossar Ewart continued as the Professor of Vertebrate Zoology. When Ewart retired in 1927 Ashworth succeeded him taking over the overarching chair of Professor of Natural History. With financial help from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1929 he established a major new building on the University’s Kings Buildings campus, thereafter known as the Ashworth Laboratories. He died at home on Grange Loan in Edinburgh on 4 February 1936 aged only 61. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Hartley Ashworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
