John Krebs, Baron Krebs

John Richard Krebs, Baron Krebs, FRS (born 11 April 1945, Sheffield, England) is a renowned English zoologist researching in the field of behavioural ecology of birds. He was the Principal of Jesus College, Oxford from 2007 until 2015.〔"Elliott Coues Award, 1999: Sir John R. Krebs", ''Jesus College Record'', 2005.〕〔http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/fellows-and-staff/fellows/lord-krebs〕 Lord Krebs is currently President of the British Science Association.
==Life and career==
The son of Hans Adolf Krebs, the German biochemist who described the uptake and release of energy in cells (the Krebs cycle), John Krebs was educated at the City of Oxford High School, and Pembroke College, Oxford where he obtained a BA degree in 1966, upgraded to an MA degree in 1970, and received a DPhil degree in 1970.〔〔 He then held posts at the University of British Columbia and the University College of North Wales, before returning to Oxford as a University Lecturer in Zoology, with a fellowship at Wolfson College, Oxford, then Pembroke.〔Clarke, Peter "Editorial", ''The Jesus College Record'' (2004), Jesus College, Oxford, 4–5.〕 He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1984.〔 and since 1988 has held a Royal Society Research Professorship in the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, where he was based at Pembroke College until his appointment to the position of Principal of Jesus College in 2005. Krebs was knighted in 1999 and was the first Chairman of the British Food Standards Agency (2000–2005).
Krebs's career has been both productive and influential.〔(ISI Highly Cited Researcher ) (within top 0.5% of all scientists) (2002)〕 His speciality is ornithology. His publications include more than 130 refereed papers, 5 books, and 130 book chapters, reviews, or popular pieces. They have introduced new methods to the science of ornithology, including the use of optimality models to predict foraging behaviour, and, more recently, techniques from neurobiology and experimental psychology to assess the mental capacities of birds and to relate these to particular regions of the brain.
During his chairmanship of the Food Standards Agency, Krebs criticised the organic food movement, saying that people buying such food were "not getting value for money, in my opinion and in the opinion of the Food Standards Agency, if they think they're buying food with extra nutritional quality or extra safety. We don't have the evidence to support those claims."〔(BBC News, ''Organic food 'no healthier' ''. Friday, 1 September 2000 )〕
Having led the Randomised Badger Culling Trials, Krebs became one of the UK's leading experts on bovine tuberculosis. The findings of the RBCT led him to oppose further badger culling in 2012 and he contributed to a paper on the subject written by centre-right think tank The Bow Group.〔(The Bow Group – Common Sense and Bovine TB )〕
Krebs was a member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics 2006–2007 and chaired the Working Party on ''Public Health'',〔(''Public Health'' Nuffield Council on Bioethics' official website )〕 2006–07. He took up the chairmanship of the National Network of Science Learning Centres〔(National Network of Science Learning Centres ), UK.〕 in 2007.〔(Principal ), Jesus College, Oxford, UK.〕
On 15 February 2007, the House of Lords Appointments Commission announced that he was to become a non-party political (cross-bench) life peer.〔House of Lords Appointments Commission, ''(New non-party-political peers )'', 15 February 2007.〕 The peerage was gazetted on 28 March 2007 as Baron Krebs, of Wytham in the County of Oxfordshire.
