David Samuel, 3rd Viscount Samuel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Samuel, 3rd Viscount Samuel OBE (born 8 July 1922) is the grandson of Herbert Samuel and thus also a second cousin of Rosalind Franklin. He was one of the founding fathers of the Faculty of Chemistry at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Late in his career, his scientific interests moved from physical chemistry (particularly chemical kinetics) to neurobiology. He is the author of the book Memory: How We Use It, Lose It and Can Improve It.

He is almost certainly the only Israeli to have been a serving member of the British House of Lords.
