Talk:Ronald Ross

message: As noted earlier, Ross is sometimes claimed as "Scottish", but this is inaccurate as he seems to have spent hardly anytime there at all, was born in India, educated in England and of an English mother and a Scottish father. 
This is NOT the MP for Londonderry.  Sir Ronald Ross died in 1932 whereas the MP for Londonderry sat in parliament until sometime in the 1950's.
I'm bemused by the references to "Sir Ross" in the article.  It is customary in the UK to refer to knights of the realm either by their full name, as in "Sir Ronald Ross" or by their first name as in "Sir Ronald".  The usage "Sir Ross" is unusual to say the least and, I'd venture to suggest, deserves editing. Al 23:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Sir Ronald Ross KCB KCMG FRS FRCS[1][2] (13 May 1857 – 16 September 1932) was a British medical doctor who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on the transmission of malaria, becoming the first British Nobel laureate, and the first born outside Europe. His discovery of the malarial parasite in the gastrointestinal tract of a mosquito in 1897 proved that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes, and laid the foundation for the method of combating the disease. He was a polymath, writing a number of poems, published several novels, and composed songs. He was also an amateur artist and natural mathematician. He worked in the Indian Medical Service for 25 years. It was during his service that he made the groundbreaking medical discovery. After resigning from his service in India, he joined the faculty of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and continued as Professor and Chairman of Tropical Medicine of the institute for 10 years. In 1926 he became Director-in-Chief of the Ross Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases, which was established in honour of his works. He remained there until his death  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4062:9F:F5D5:0:0:924:18A1 (talk) 13:32, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
