Comment
Ann silver was born 23 November 1929 in British India and died 10 March 2023. Dr Ann Silver completed aPhD at Edinburgh University and did most of her work at Agricultural Research Council Institute of Animal Physiology at Babraham, Cambridgeshire, where she worked with her mentor Catherine Hebb and Krnjevic K among many other. Dr Silver's book, Biology of Cholinesterases (1974), was an important source of information, ideas and inspiration for a generation of cholinesterase researchers. She later laid the foundations for the cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease, which led to the development of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors to treat it. Some of her interview transcripts are available at HistModBioMed. An obituary paper by Richard Dyball is available obituary
