Arthur Boycott
Arthur Edwin Boycott FRS was a British pathologist and naturalist.
While studying blood sedimentation he discovered that when test tubes are slightly tilted, sedimentation takes place at a much higher rate.
The effect, named after him "the Boycott effect", plays a major role in the phenomenon of the sinking bubbles in Guinness stout beer.
On 8 December 2016, it was reported that a book that Boycott borrowed from Hereford Cathedral School sometime between 1886 and 1894 was returned to the school by his granddaughter Alice Gillett.
