Agree. Good idea! --KenBailey (talk) 19:12, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. David Attwell (current Jodrell Professor of Physiology). It could read like this (taking bits from both pages):

The Jodrell Chair of Physiology is a chair at University College London, endowed (shortly before the Jodrell Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy) by Thomas Jodrell Phillips Jodrell in 1873. The Jodrell chair succeeded the previous chair in anatomy and physiology.

The endowment was for the sum of £7500 (equivalent to £847,513 in 2020), with a further £500 for equipment.[1][2] This endowment was acknowledged in the final report of the Royal Commission on Scientific Instruction in 1875.[3]

The first holder was John Burdon-Sanderson after the post received the Jodrell endowment.[4] Two Jodrell Professors, Archibald Hill and Andrew Huxley, have gone on to win the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine, with others also making significant contributions to the field.
