James Francis Tait

James Francis Tait (1926-2014) was an English physicist and endocrinologist. He worked with his wife, Sylvia Agnes Sophia Tait from 1948 until her death in 2003,[1] a partnership described by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as "one of the most successful examples of husband-wife collaboration."[2] Together, they discovered and identified the hormone aldosterone.
