This may be a longshot, but I found references via Google to a British scientist "E.S. Goodwin" associated with the Woodstock Agricultural Research Centre, Shell Research Ltd., Sittingbourne, publishing and presenting in the early 1960s about insecticide and pesticide residue detected by gas liquid chromatography. chromatographyonline.findanalytichem.com/lcgc/data/articl... www.rsc.org/delivery/_ArticleLinking/DisplayArticleForFre... Can anyone else determine that E.S. Goodwin's full name and gender? :o) I'm guessing this photo is 1920s or early 1930s?

i am drawn to this photo,not knowing why

There is a "Liz Sabin" in the UK who has made a couple of technical biology science posts on a few archived listservs for scientists; there's a return email address for her, if anyone wants to take the search up a notch and see if she is, or is related to, the woman in the picture.

Right there with you, gostrong50. I keep checking back to see if she's been positively identified. (I'm also charmed by the sideseam of her dress--looks like it's coming apart, or it's been hastily mended?)

She was very beautiful.

From a Google-cached page listing of "Scientists Who Have Contributed to Our Knowledge of Freshwater Crab Biology," retrieved Jan. 20, 2009 - she is listed under "African Freshwater Crab Carcinologists" Isabella Gordon 18 May 1901 – 11 May 1988 British carcinologist. Obtained her Ph.D. degree (1926) from the University of London, awarded D.Sc. (1928) by the University of Aberdeen, and received the Order of the British Empire in 1961. In her early years she studied echinoderms, and made working visits to the U.S.(Hopkins Marine Station, California; Woods Hole, Massachusetts; U.S. National Museum, Washington D.C.). Assistant Keeper of Crustacea at the British Museum (Natural History) (Now The Natural History Museum, London) until her retiremen in 1966. The original page, apparently compiled by Dr. Neil Cumberlidge at Northern Michigan University, is no longer there. faculty.nmu.edu/ncumberl/Neil/MainFWC-website/FWCCarcinol... There's a piece on her (probably an obit) in the Nov. 1988 issue of the Journal of Crustacean Biology if someone has access to JSTOR. (I don't on my home computer) And in Crustaceana, Vol. 56, No. 1 (1989)

She is pretty. And that's quite a stare.

Nice shot, Beautiful !!!

what a beauty :)
