What year did the scientist, who is the namesake of the Tyndall Center, die?
Tyndall Centre The centre, named after the 19th-century UK scientist John Tyndall (born in Ireland) and founded in 2000, has eight core partners: the University of East Anglia, University of Cambridge, Cardiff University, University of Manchester, Newcastle University, University of Oxford, University of Southampton, and the University of Sussex. Fudan University joined the Tyndall Centre partnership in May 2011.
Lyman C. Craig Lyman C. Craig (born 1906 in Palmyra Township, Warren County, Iowa; died 1974) was a chemical researcher who worked at The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research from 1933 onward. In 1944 he published a seminal work on countercurrent distribution, which became an important separation technique. Craig continued to develop the theory, improve the apparatus and devise new applications of the countercurrent distribution into the 1970s. Countercurrent distribution not only proved to be a useful separation technique, it also inspired the development of the field of countercurrent chromatography. In 1950, Craig invented the rotary evaporator which is a necessary equipment in most chemical labs. He received recognition from his peers and several honors for his scientific accomplishments. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1950. He was the recipient of the 1963 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research. He also was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
