[PAR] [TLE] Brian Goodwin [SEP] Brian Carey Goodwin (25 March 1931 – 15 July 2009) was a Canadian mathematician and biologist, a Professor Emeritus at the Open University and a founder of theoretical biology and biomathematics.  He introduced the use of complex systems and generative models in developmental biology.  He suggested that a reductionist view of nature fails to explain complex features, controversially proposing the "fringe" structuralist theory that morphogenetic fields might substitute for natural selection in driving evolution.  He was also a visible member of the Third Culture movement. [PAR] [TLE] Open University [SEP] The Open University (OU) is a public distance learning and research university, and one of the biggest universities in the UK for undergraduate education.  The majority of the OU's undergraduate students are based throughout the United Kingdom and principally study off-campus; many of its courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate) can also be studied anywhere in the world.  There are also a number of full-time postgraduate research students based on the 48-hectare university campus where they use the OU facilities for research, as well as more than 1000 members of academic and research staff and over 2500 administrative, operational and support staff.
