Why do we remember Dorothy Russell?
Dorothy Russell (1985-1983), one of the leading figures in the brief history of British neuropathology, is remembered by the Society in a biennial Memorial Lecture. So rapid is progress in the Neurosciences and so short our memories, that for a younger generation of neuropathologists she is probably no more than a name associated with a large recently revised textbook on brain tumours. However, together with Godwin Greenfield, Dorothy Russell had a profound and lasting influence on the development and practice of Neuropathology throughout the world.
