David Charles Weatherburn is an Australian-trained, New Zealand chemistry academic.
Academic career
After a MSc{{cite web |url=http://opac.library.usyd.edu.au:80/record=b1735321~S4 |title=University of Sydney Library /All Locations |publisher=Opac.library.usyd.edu.au:80 |date= |accessdate=10 October 2016}} and PhD{{cite web |url=http://opac.library.usyd.edu.au:80/record=b1735322~S4 |title=University of Sydney Library /All Locations |publisher=Opac.library.usyd.edu.au:80 |date= |accessdate=10 October 2016}} at the University of Sydney in Australia, he did a Postdoc at Purdue University and a brief period at University of Queensland, he joined Victoria University of Wellington in the early 1970s and remained there until his official retirement in 2009.{{Cite web | url=http://www.victoria.ac.nz/scps/about/attachments/ChemHist_second-edition_lowres.pdf | title=Chemistry at Victoria The Wellington University - A Personalized Account of the Hundred Years from 1899 | access-date=2024-06-21 | website=www.victoria.ac.nz}} His specialism was coordination chemistry and spectroscopy, but he had a popular sideline in science shows.
In 2011 he was given a Meritorious Service Award by the Tertiary Education Union.{{cite web |url=http://teu.ac.nz/about/teu-rules-and-constitution/teu-awards/award-recipients-and-alumni/ |title=Award recipients and alumni – TEU |publisher=Teu.ac.nz |date=19 February 2016 |accessdate=10 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009174320/http://teu.ac.nz/about/teu-rules-and-constitution/teu-awards/award-recipients-and-alumni/ |archive-date=9 October 2016 |url-status=dead }}
