Arthur Edwin Boycott FRS (6 April 1877, Hereford — 12 May 1938, Ewen) was a British pathologist and naturalist. While studying blood sedimentation he discovered that when test tubes are slightly tilted, sedimentation takes place at a much higher rate. The effect, named after him "the Boycott effect", plays a major role in the phenomenon of the sinking bubbles in Guinness stout beer.
