Welcome to the seventeenth edition of the Alumnus Association newsletter.
In this edition of the newsletter our interview is with Dr Mari Nilva Maia Da Silva and Mr David Blundred (which includes a quiz). We have news from the National Brain Appeal, an article on the global influence of the "Green Book" and updates from the archives. We would like to highlight that our archives hold extensive material from the past 150 years of Queen Square history.
I would like to highlight that old editions of the Queen Square Alumnus Association newsletter produced by Miss Pat Harris, are available in PDF format on the Queen Square Alumni website https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/education/alumnusassociation/archivenewsletters. I would also like to draw your attention to the work in progress that is the Institute of Neurology History pages as well as highlighting the new official history of Queen Square. Along with the mini biographies for notable former staff in the history of Queen Square using for the main, the Queen Square: A History of the National Hospital and its Institute of Neurology book we have added information on notable Alumni.
I would like to thank the following people, without whom this edition of the newsletter would not have been possible; Dr Mari Nilva Maia Da Silva for her interview; Mrs Marilyn Blundred for her attention to detail in proof reading this edition; Ms Sarah Lawson for Queen Square Library and Archive material, and the Queen Square Library for photographs used in this edition.
I hope you enjoy reading this edition of the Queen Square Alumnus Association newsletter.
