Jeremy Pickett-Heaps was a biologist whose acute observational powers were fed by a deep fascination for how cells work; he had an affinity for the myriad diversity of algae and other protists in general and for what they could teach us about all cells. An early adopter of the electron microscope, he made fundamental discoveries in plant cell division and green algal phylogeny that developed into studies on cell division in general: first with the highly-ordered diatoms and other protists, and later with animal cells. In the latter part of his career, Jeremy mastered time-lapse micro-cinematography to document the dynamic lives of cells and, through the resultant movies and his enthusiastic teaching, introduced many to the wonders of microscopic life.

杰里米·皮克特·希普斯 (Jeremy Pickett-Heaps) 是一位生物学家，他对细胞工作原理的深深着迷赋予了他敏锐的观察力。他对藻类和其他原生生物的无数多样性以及它们可以教给我们关于所有细胞的知识有着浓厚的兴趣。作为电子显微镜的早期采用者，他在植物细胞分裂和绿藻系统发育方面取得了基础性发现，这些发现发展为一般细胞分裂的研究：首先是高度有序的硅藻和其他原生生物，后来是动物细胞。在他职业生涯的后期，杰里米掌握了延时微电影摄影技术来记录细胞的动态生命，并通过由此产生的电影和他热情的教学，向许多人介绍了微观生命的奇迹。
