Timeline

2016

Dawes has been chairman of the Philip Larkin Society since its founding in 1995, ten years after the death of the poet. The two became friends while Larkin was librarian at the university's Brynmor Jones Library and Dawes was Chairman of the Library Committee (1974 to 1987). On 2 December 2016, after a long campaign, Larkin's memorial was unveiled at Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey by Dawes and Anthony Thwaite (the Society's president).

1986

His 1986 textbook Microbial Energetics was aimed at the advanced undergraduate, with chapters on "microbial reserve compounds analogous to starch and glycogen of higher cells" deemed "especially authoritative and up-to-date", and with a writing style which "affords considerable pleasure simply by the manner in which the material is presented".

1972

Dawes is a multi-award-winning historian of magic, and is likely to have been the most prolific. His writings, which have been noted for consistently excellent scholarship and engaging prose, include The Great Illusionists, The Encyclopedia of Magic with Arthur Setterington, a number of monographs, and hundreds of articles including (since 1972) his long-running "A Rich Cabinet of Magical Curiosities" monthly column in The Magic Circular.

1968

He was Hull's Dean of Science from 1968 to 1970, and its pro-vice-chancellor from 1977 to 1980. Dawes was granted emeritus status in 1990, and awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science by the university in 1992.

1959

Dawes was President of the Scottish Conjurers' Association from 1959 to 1963, and edited its magazine from 1958 to 1962. Dawes also edited the magazine for the Scottish Association of Magical Societies (SAMS), the national organisation for magical clubs in Scotland. He is President of the Hull Magicians Circle, and historian for The Magic Circle.

1958

Dawes was an editor of the Biochemical Journal from 1958 to 1965 and the Journal of General Microbiology from 1971 to 1976, and served as editor-in-chief of the latter between 1976 and 1981. In 1981 he became Publications Manager of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, and the following year commenced as Chief Editor of its FEMS Microbiology Letters journal. He retired from those positions in 1990, and subsequently became the society's archivist.

1956

Dawes's 1956 textbook Quantitative Problems in Biochemistry was translated into 6 languages, and as of 2016 remained in print in Japan. Reviews of its 1972 5th edition noted that it had "become a classic for many honours students and teachers of bio-chemistry" with its text "outstanding for being concise yet clear. Its 1980 6th edition was considered as "disappointing" by two reviewers due to its abbreviated content and insufficient coverage of developments in the field, however another reviewer would recommend it without hesitation "as a valuable teaching and reference resource".

1950

In magic shows, his wife Amy (née Rogerson) performed both as his assistant and in her own right. She was a domestic science student during his studies at Leeds, and subsequently became a teacher in Glasgow. They married on 19 December 1950, and had two sons. The couple developed Only Make-Believe: A Plethora of Prestidigitation, an award-winning stage show, in which they performed as Professor Bluffman and Madame Patrice. Amy Dawes died on 30 December 2014, aged 85.

1947

Dawes lectured at the University of Leeds from 1947 to 1950, and at the University of Glasgow from 1951 to 1963. In 1963, he founded the University of Hull's Biochemistry department, and headed it until 1986. From 1963 to 1990 he was Hull's Reckitt Professor of Biochemistry. As director of Hull's biomedical research unit from 1981 to 1992, he led its work on polyhydroxyalkanoate bioplastics, which led to the commercialisation of Biopol by ICI.

1946

He completed his Bachelor of Science with Honours at the University of Leeds in 1946, and his PhD in 1948.

1925

Edwin Alfred Dawes (born 6 July 1925) is a biochemist and magician from Yorkshire, England.

Dawes was born in Goole in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 6 July 1925. He developed an interest in magic at the age of 5 when his father and grandfather performed for him during a period of illness. His interest in chemistry developed while at grammar school in Goole, and when he received a gas-mask during World War 2, he decided to test it by producing chlorine gas in the family shed.
