Suzy Lishman - Grateful to the air bubble

摘要

SUZY LISHMAN, 47, consultant in cellular pathology at Peterborough City Hospital, has been the president of the Royal College of Pathologists since November 2014. She has her hands full overseeing the college's move from London's swanky SW1 to the grittier environs of Whitechapel—once Jack the Ripper territory but now manifestly on the up. She is vocal in promoting the cause of women in science, extolling pathology (under the Twitter name @ilovepathology), and asking with increasing exasperation why, 15 years after Harold Shipman was sentenced, death certification has yet to be reformed by the creation of medical examiners.
