Michael Stewart Pease OBE〔(Supplement to the London Gazette ) 11 June 1966, p6542〕 (2 October 1890 – 27 July 1966) was a British classical geneticist at Cambridge University.
Pease was the son of Edward Reynolds Pease, writer and a founding member of the Fabian Society, of the Pease family of Quakers. He married Helen Bowen Wedgwood, daughter of the Labour politician Josiah Wedgwood IV (later 1st Baron Wedgwood), of the Wedgwood pottery family on 24 February 1920 at Chelsea Register Office. Their children include the physicist Bas Pease and Jocelyn Richenda Gammell Pease (1925–2003), who married the Nobel Prize–winning biologist Andrew Huxley.
He worked at the Genetical Institute of Cambridge as assistant to Reginald Crundall Punnett, who created the first auto-sexing chicken breeds, the Cambar and Legbar, in which the sex of day-old chicks was clearly distinguishable from the plumage.〔 When, in 1930, a separate poultry research facility was established, Pease headed it.〔F.A.E. Crew (1967). (Reginald Crundall Punnett. 1875-1967 ). ''Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society'' 13: 309-326. 〕 He also served as a Labour councillor on the Cambridge County Council for Girton. He was appointed to be an Ordinary Officers of the Civil Division of the Order of the British Empire in 1966 for political and public services in Cambridgeshire.〔
He was held in the civilian internment camp at Ruhleben, near Berlin, during the First World War. His father, a Major at the time, asked whether he could be exchanged for a German prisoner wishing to return to Berlin, but without success. While interned Pease tried to get gardens put into the camp and on April 27, 1916 gave a lecture on dancing in Elizabethan times.〔(The Ruhleben story )〕
