Jack Cohen obituary
Reproductive biologist and author of popular science and science fiction books best known for the series The Science of Discworld
The biologist Jack Cohen, who has died aged 85, worked on animal reproduction and the development of feathers and hair; his Living Embryos (1963) became a standard university text. He also co-authored popular science books and science fiction, and designed alien creatures and ecosystems for science fiction writers. But he will be best remembered for the bestselling four-book series The Science of Discworld, which he wrote with Terry Pratchett and me.
I first met Jack in 1990, when he phoned me at Warwick University. “Hello, I’m Jack Cohen. I have a question about your book on chaos theory. Can we meet?” We had lunch at a pub in Kenilworth, and four hours later we were still there, having discovered that a mathematician and a biologist could have far more in common than they expected.
