Biography

Kendrick was born in Liverpool in 1933. After completing his bachelor's degree (1955) and Ph.D. (1958) at the University of Liverpool, he took an assignment as a postdoctoral fellow with the Plant Research Institute of Agriculture Canada in Ottawa, Canada, remaining there as a research officer until 1965, when he accepted a position as assistant professor in the biology department at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. The following year he became as associate professor, and in 1971 he was made a full professor. He received his D.Sc. from the University of Liverpool in 1980. [1] From 1985 he was Waterloo's associate dean for graduate affairs. Kendrick retired from the University of Waterloo and received a distinguished professor emeritus in 1994. [2] He moved to Sidney, British Columbia, maintaining adjunct professorships at both the University of Waterloo and University of Victoria. He continues to consult and publish in his field; since 2004 he has been the technical advisor for Aerobiology Laboratory Associates in Reston, Virginia.

Kendrick wrote several books, [3] and over 300 publications, [4] including a textbook about fungi, The Fifth Kingdom. [5]
