Roald Dahl and the Big Friendly Neuroscientist - A Public Engagement Odyssey Wednesday 7 November 2018, 6-7pm. David Shaw Lecture Theatre, Newcastle University Medical School, Framlington Place, NE2 4HH Tom Solomon is Professor of Neurology at the University of Liverpool. In 1990, as a junior doctor in Oxford, he looked after world-famous author Roald Dahl. The two developed an unlikely friendship, and every third night, when Solomon was on call, they would chat into the wee small hours about Dahl's fascinating medical encounters. Twenty-five years later these tales became Solomon's highly acclaimed popular science book Roald Dahl's Marvellous Medicine, which then turned into a sell-out smash hit family show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and London's West End. Nowadays, academics are encouraged to engage patients and the public in their research. In this lecture Professor Solomon will talk about Roald Dahl and his marvellous medical encounters, and show how he used this opportunity to engage patients and the public in his work.
