Alfred William "Bill" Frankland MBE (19 March 1912 – 2 April 2020)[1] was a British allergist and immunologist[2] whose achievements included the popularisation of the pollen count as a piece of weather-related information to the British public, speculation regarding the effects of overly sterile living environments, and the prediction of increased levels of allergy to penicillin. He continued to work for a number of years after turning 100.[3]
