Ethel Dobbie Currie

Ethel Dobbie Currie was born on December 04, 1899 to James Ferguson Currie and Elizabeth Laughlan Allan, in Cathcart, Glasgow, Scotland. She died on March 24, 1963.

Ethel Dobbie Currie (1899-1963) was a distinguished geologist. She was a pupil of Bellahouston Academy and later graduated from University of Glasgow in 1920 during the First World War. Professor John Gregory invited her to assist with the care and arrangement of the geological collections in the Hunterian Museum after her graduation; she worked as Assistant Curator of the Museum until she retired in September 1962.

Currie's primary research interest was in palaeontology. Her first publication was a joint paper with Professor Gregory on fossil sea-urchins. Since then she published several notable academic papers. Royal Society of Edinburgh awarded her the Neill Prize in 1945 and in 1949 she was one of the first women to be made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh along with Sheina Macalister Marshalland. Her contributions were acknowledged by the Geological Society of London and she was awarded its Wollaston Fund. ^[1]^[2]
