Neil Gemmell
- ... that New Zealand geneticist Neil Gemmell (pictured) hunted the Loch Ness Monster to show how science works? Source: "The main driver of the project was to show how the science process worked." source
- Reviewed: Trees For Life (Australia)
- Comment: Scientifically, his work on sequencing of the tuatara genome is much more notable but it's very geeky, whereas hunting Nessie would have a much broader appeal (which is why he embarked on that exercise in the first place, I presume).
