•born on May 24, 1892 in New York City
•son of William George Crozier and Bessie Mackay [1]
•he attended and graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1912, where he completed his undergraduate degree in physical chemistry and biochemistry [2]
• in 1915, he received his Ph.D. in zoology from Harvard, after which he spent some time doing research at the Bermuda Biological Station where he studied the behaviour of marine life. [2]
• he spent the time between 1918-1925 being a professor in different schools such as the University of Illinois Medical School as well as the University of Chicago. And in 1927, he became a professor at Harvard. [2]
•While in the biology department at Harvard, Crozier crossed paths with B.F. Skinner who seemed to take a liking to Crozier. Crozier was looking at how different forces in the environment could have an effect on the behavioural responses of organisms. Both Corzier and Skinner believed that by studying these behavioural responses, Crozier was in fact studying reflexes. [3]
•Crozier attracted many students to his general physiology lab, and in turn, he had a lot of help when doing research
•Crozier and his students divided their research into two main fields: the first having to do with tropisms, and the second having to do with studying the effects that temperature had on the actions in poikilothermic organisms, as well as its effects on biological oxidation. [2]
•work in tropism —
