Professor Irene Edgington, better known by her nickname "Professor E", was the the lead scientist at the Erroneous Reasoning Research Academy. Some of her many exploits included de-evolving herself into a chimpanzee through the misuse of her own equipment- she had been attempting to accelerate evolution to observe the future of the human form and her equipment worked in reverse-, and the invention of a groinal exploder. It is not exactly clear how she managed to get into one of the station's stasis booths while in her de-evolved form.

abstract
  • Professor Irene Edgington, better known by her nickname "Professor E", was the the lead scientist at the Erroneous Reasoning Research Academy. Some of her many exploits included de-evolving herself into a chimpanzee through the misuse of her own equipment- she had been attempting to accelerate evolution to observe the future of the human form and her equipment worked in reverse-, and the invention of a groinal exploder. It is not exactly clear how she managed to get into one of the station's stasis booths while in her de-evolved form. Her background also remains unclear, although Kryten does mention that most of the ERRA staff were selected from groups known for their ability to be wrong, such as "referees, television critics, and weathermen", indicating that she may have once participated in one of these occupations. Her status as head researcher seems to indicate that she was even more prone to error than many of her contemporaries. Indeed, she is only shown to have gotten something right once in her life, justifying the cosmic significance of her nickname being "Proffesor E" and her first name being "Irene" (Irene E = Irony). After the crew returned her to her human form by Kryten reprogramming her evolution accelerator, allowing her to help them save Lister from a device of her own creation, she is killed after falling over a box containing Rimmer's health and safety forms into an airlock. While not lethal in of itself, she naturally could not be trusted to press the right release button.
