Doug Ingram’s research career spanned four decades during which time he made major contributions to the fields of reproductive physiology, thermal and environmental physiology, and nutritional and developmental physiology. A zoology undergraduate in Birmingham under Peter Medawar, then a PhD student in anatomy with Solly Zuckerman, the major part of Doug’s research achievement occurred between 1961 and 1989 at the ARC Institute of Animal Physiology, Cambridge/BBSRC Babraham Institute, in the Departments of Applied Biology, Cell Biology, and Molecular and Cellular Physiology. He was awarded Individual Merit Promotion to Senior Principal Scientific Officer in 1975, a DSc by the University of Birmingham and elected a Fellow of the Institute of Biology in 1976. Along with numerous publications in learned journals, including The Journal of Physiology, he was joint author of the definitive book on Man and animals in hot environments (1975).
