Brian J. Ford HonFLS HonFRMS (born on May 13, 1939 in Corsham, Wiltshire[1]) is an independent research biologist, author, and lecturer, who publishes on scientific issues for the general public.

During those three years he delivered 150 lectures in scores of countries, meeting 10,000 people in over 350 universities around the world.

Ford attended the King's School, Peterborough, and then Cardiff University to study botany and zoology between 1959 and 1961, leaving before graduating to set up his own multi-disciplinary laboratory.

[9] He was the first British President of the European Union of Science Journalists' Associations,[citation needed] founding Chairman of the Science and Technology Authors Committee at the Society of Authors, [citation needed] and the president of the Cambridge Society for the Application of Research (CSAR) of Cambridge University.

Several paleontologists, such as Darren Naish, have directly countered Ford in his arguments using documented evidence of dinosaurs being terrestrial to back their rebuttals to his work.
