Jean Feldmann
Jean Feldmann (1905–1978) was a French biologist, specialising in marine algae.[1]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Jean Feldmann was born on 25 June 1905 in Paris.[2] He initially studied pharmacy, gaining his first degree in 1929, before turning his attentions to marine algae.[1] In 1933, he took up a position as an assistant at the University of Algiers, where he also completed his doctorate in 1937, married his assistant, Geneviève Mazoyer, in 1938, and rose to professor in 1948.[1] The couple moved to Paris when Jean took up a position at the institution that became the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, where they remained until his retirement in 1976.[1] He died suddenly on 18 September 1978.[1][2]
Work
[edit | edit source]Feldmann published around 220 scientific works, mostly on marine algae, but also covering various fungi, mosses, freshwater algae and flowering plants.[1] Feldmann strongly believed in international scientific co-operation[3] and, as well as co-founding the Société Phycologique de France in 1955, strongly advocated the foundation of an International Phycological Society,[1] of which he served as the first president from its foundation in 1961 until his retirement.[3]
