Thomas Alan Stephenson

Thomas Alan Stephenson

Thomas Alan Stephenson (19 January 1898–3 April 1961) was a British marine biologist, specialising in sea anemones.

He was born at Burnham-on-Sea, the son of a minister and amateur botanist. He soon developed an interest in natural history and went to study at University College, Aberystwyth. He began to study the local sea anemones there, but had to abandon his studies because of illness. Despite not completing his degree, he was made a staff member and was later awarded a doctorate for the body of work that he had produced.

Stephenson held a number of academic posts in Britain, and at the University of Cape Town, South Africa
