Cresswell Shearer, FRS (24 May 1874 – 6 February 1941), was a British zoologist and Cambridge lecturer in Experimental Embryology, where he motivated his students to develop a keen interest in hands-on research, inviting them to practical marine research experience at Plymouth Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom during the summer months. It is also where he and Dorothy Jordan Lloyd worked as early pioneers on how to rear parthenogenetic sea-urchin larvae through metamorphosis. He also conducted research there with Harold Munro Fox and Walter de Morgan on the genetics of sea urchin hybrids.

  • Cresswell Shearer, FRS (24 May 1874 – 6 February 1941), was a British zoologist and Cambridge lecturer in Experimental Embryology, where he motivated his students to develop a keen interest in hands-on research, inviting them to practical marine research experience at Plymouth Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom during the summer months. It is also where he and Dorothy Jordan Lloyd worked as early pioneers on how to rear parthenogenetic sea-urchin larvae through metamorphosis. He also conducted research there with Harold Munro Fox and Walter de Morgan on the genetics of sea urchin hybrids. During World War I (1914-1918) Cresswell returned to medicine working at Davenport Military Hospital in Plymouth. Due to an outbreak of cerebrospinal fever amongst the troops, he improved cultivation methods to study meningococcus, a bacterium involved in some forms of meningitis and cerebrospinal infection. He pursued life long interests in both photography and Italian architecture, publishing The Renaissance of Architecture in Southern Italy in 1935. Cresswell's architectural photographs contribute to the Courtauld's Conway Library archive, which are currently being digitised as part of the Courtauld Connects project. (en)
