Dr Leon HARRISON
The recent death of Dr Leon Harrison on July 28th passed very quietly. An academic who was selfless, humble and magnanimous in all aspects of his life. He devoted that life to his students and research (much of which he was not publicly given credit for) at the University of Nottingham.
He was hugely responsible for the development of the scanning equipment used worldwide to scan pregnancies in hospitals today, to name just one. Although he was a leader in the British research contingent the purchase of the patent by the Americans meant he was not internationally recognised for that work, yet he used his experience to encourage all his students and fellows to strive for the highest achievement.
His expertise saw him seconded to research projects in Australia and America and ignited his love of travel. Refusing to give in to failing health he toured the globe. His bravery helped him to defy all the difficulties he faced and he was courageous to the end.
Messages of gratitude, love and condolence from his former students, colleagues, family and friends have been supporting his beloved wife, Valerie, at this sad time. A much loved scientist, tutor, husband, brother in law and uncle; he passed aged 75 at his home with his wife beside him.
