## Bio

James Hopwood Jeans was born in England on 11 September 1877, trained in physics and mathematics, and carved out a career that straddled theory and observation. He served as secretary of the Royal Society for a decade starting in 1919, then took the presidency of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1925 to 1927, a tenure that earned him the society's Gold Medal. His work in astronomy and his ability to translate the technical into the legible made him a bridge figure in early twentieth-century science. He died on 16 September 1946, five days after his sixty-ninth birthday.
