Horace Tabberer Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horace Tabberer Brown (20 July 1848 - 6 February 1925) was a British chemist. He was a born after the death of his biological father so his stepfather was the only father he knew. The stepfather was a banker and amateur naturalist which leads to Brown's interest in science which began around age 12.

His earliest work concerned treatment of sewage and then later he moved on to geology of the Permian. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1889. From 1890 onward studied the assimiliation of Carbon dioxide in plants. He also established the Guinness Research Laboratory in Dublin in 1901. From that point onward he was best known for research on brewing.

He won the Copley Medal in 1920 and died five years later.
