Biography
Reginald Pannet was born in 1875 in the family of George Pannet and Emily Crandell. Educated at Bristol in Clifton School . In 1895-1898 he studied at the Cambridge College of Gonvil and Kaius . Pannet began with the study of medicine, but in the third year he switched to the natural sciences, especially zoology. After graduation, he spent about a year abroad - at the Zoological Station in Naples, later at the University of Heidelberg . At this time, Pannet began to study the morphology of Nemertins , which he continued until the late 1900s. From September 1899 to October 1901, he served as a demonstrator at the Department of Natural History at St. Andrews University ( Scotland ) [1] .
In 1901, Pannett entered the partnership of Gonvile and Caius College and took the post of university demonstrator-anatomist ( English Demonstrator in Anatomy ). In early 1904, Pannett began collaborating with William Bateson . In the same year, he became the Balfurov scholarship (the scholarship was established in memory of Francis Balfour , professor of animal anatomy at the University of Cambridge) [1] .
The assistant-zoologist began to demonstrate to students the phenomenon of the chained inheritance of various traits that he had discovered. Together with his teacher, William Bateson, he founded the Journal of Genetics in 1910. In 1912, Pannett became a member of the Royal Society . In 1922 he was awarded the Darwin Medal . In 1940, Pannet retired.
