Julia Bell MA Dubl (1901) MRCS LRCP (1920) MRCP (1926) FRCP (1938)[1] (28 January 1879 – 26 April 1979) was one of the pioneers of eugenics and human genetics.[2][3] Her early career as a statistical assistant to Karl Pearson (1857–1936) marked the beginning of a lifelong professional association with the Galton Laboratory for National Eugenics (renamed the Department of Human Genetics and Biometry in 1966) at University College London. Bell's work as a human geneticist was based on her statistical investigations into the inheritance of anomalies and diseases of the eye, nervous diseases, muscular dystrophies, and digital anomalies.[4]
