Francis Marshall (physiologist)
Francis Hugh Adam Marshall, CBE, FRS (11 July 1878, High Wycombe – 5 February 1949, Cambridge) was a British physiologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1920. He was an early researcher into the science of biological reproduction. His 1910 text The physiology of reproduction was influential. Marshall was awarded the Croonian Lecture in 1936 and, in 1940, the Royal Medal by the Royal Society. Marshall's presence at the University of Edinburgh is cited as one of the reasons that the Institute of Animal Genetics was established there in the 1910s. The University of Edinburgh gave him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1939. He died of appendicitis in 1949.

“Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging.”
—St. Francis Of Assisi (c. 1182–1226)
“Work is a responsibility most adults assume, a burden at times, a complication, but also a challenge that, like children, requires enormous energy and that holds the potential for qualitative, as well as quantitative, rewards. Isn’t this the only constructive perspective for women who have no choice but to work? And isn’t it a more healthy attitude for women writhing with guilt because they choose to compound the challenges of motherhood with work they enjoy?”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
