Professor John F. Nunn: scientist, anaesthetist and polymath
1Department of Anaesthesia, St James's University Hospital, Leeds, UK; School of Medicine, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
Abstract:
John Francis Nunn (1925-2022) was an anaesthetist and clinical scientist who used his incomprehension of the science of anaesthesia in his early career to guide an extensive lifetime of innovative research. His interests outside of medicine led to him developing renowned expertise in such diverse areas as Egyptian hieroglyphs and the origins of the Earth's atmosphere. He was an outstanding communicator, writing four books alongside an impressive number of papers covering diverse topics from cell biology to history. His greatest contribution is in the understanding of respiratory physiology during anaesthesia which continues to underpin current routine anaesthetic practice and patient safety.
