You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sir Samuel Phillips Bedson''', [[Royal Society|FRS]] (1 December 1886 – 11 May 1969) was a British [[microbiologist]] who was professor emeritus of bacteriology at the [[University of London]].<ref name=Munk>((cite web |url=http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/335|title=Samuel Phillips (Sir) Bedson|work=[[Munk's Roll]]|publisher=[[Royal College of Physicians]] |access-date=15 June 2019))</ref>

==Early life==
((Unsourced|section|date=December 2022))
Bedson was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, the son of Peter Phillip Bedson, a professor of chemistry at the [[University of Durham]], and was educated at [[Abbotsholme School]] in [[Derbyshire]]. From there he went to [[Armstrong College, Newcastle|Armstrong College, Newcastle upon Tyne]], where he graduated [[Bachelor of Science|BSc]] in 1907. In 1912, he was awarded [[Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery|MB BS]] degrees by the University of Durham. He then studied microbiology at the [[Pasteur Institute]] in Paris.

==Career==

Bedson started work studying blood platelets at the [[Lister Institute]], but when World War I started, he enlisted in the [[Northumberland Fusiliers]], was wounded at [[Gallipoli campaign|Gallipoli]] and evacuated home. In 1916, he was in France serving as a pathologist for the [[Royal Army Medical Corps]]. After the war, he eventually resumed his work on platelets at the Lister Institute.

In 1924, he transferred to the study of [[foot-and-mouth disease]] and in 1926 was awarded a Freedom Fellowship to study viruses at [[London Hospital]], which in 1929 included a study of [[psittacosis]]. The causal micro-organisms ''[[Chlamydophila psittaci]]'' of psittacosis were known, from the 1930s to the 1960s, as ''[[Bedsonia]]'' as a result of his research. In 1934, he was appointed to the [[Goldsmiths Company]]’s Chair of Bacteriology at the [[London Hospital Medical College]], from which he retired in 1952.

He was elected a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] in 1935 <ref>((cite web|url=https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqDb=Persons&dsqSearch=Code==%27NA1843%27&dsqCmd=Show.tcl|title= Fellows details|publisher= Royal Society|access-date= 6 May 2016))</ref> and was knighted in 1956.<ref name=Munk/>

They had three sons.<ref name=Munk/> His second son, [[Henry Bedson]], was the head of the Microbiology Department at the [[University of Birmingham Medical School]] and committed suicide in 1978 following the [[1978 smallpox outbreak in the United Kingdom|last known recorded death from smallpox]], which was linked to his laboratory.<ref>((cite web |url=http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/334 |title=Henry Samuel Bedson |work=[[Munk's Roll]]|publisher=[[Royal College of Physicians]] |access-date=15 June 2019))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-45101091|title= How smallpox claimed its final victim|author= Monica Rimmer|date=10 August 2018|publisher=[[BBC]] |access-date=15 June 2019))</ref>

After his retirement, Bedson ran the virus unit of the British Empire Cancer Campaign in the Bland Sutton Institute of Pathology at the [[Middlesex Hospital]] until 1962.
