Rupert Sheldrake (born 28 June 1942) is a British former biochemist turned parapsychology researcher, and the author of a number of controversial books on topics such as animal and plant development and behaviour, memory, telepathy and perception.
Sheldrake's ideas have often met with a hostile reception from scientists, including accusations that he is engaged in pseudoscience, though according to some reporters his ideas have been better received by elements of the general public.
