Yes, I remember now. Ian Glossop, mustached professional Welshman, widely unpopular. I'm not sure I ever understood why, but then I was always outside the whole English schoolboy ethics (beginning with the no-sneaking rule). I do know that I was personally much happier with the Linacre housemaster, whose name I also forget, and who was an Anglican clergyman; whether he was happy with me, on the other hand....
The link you placed had a gap. I closed it and found myself in an article on a remarkably hardy microbe that could be selected for the controlled environment of a flight to Mars. Is that where you wanted me to go? Is that your work? (I did not realize that they designed the environment of spaceships in such detail, but thinking about it, it makes sense. One undersirable microbe might result in a sick, starved or dead crew before the mission is achieved.)

I haven't become an academic, as was my ambition, but I do some research in my own time, in a rather different field: http://www.facesofarthur.org.uk/fabio/contents.htm
