Inspired by Andrew Carnegie’s belief in the power of knowledge for the public good, the Carnegie Lecture reflects the University of Aberdeen’s commitment to addressing complex global challenges through interdisciplinary insight. With Health, Nutrition & Wellbeing as one of our key challenge areas, we are pleased to welcome Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan, consultant in clinical neurophysiology and neurology at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and the Epilepsy Society, as our speaker for 2026.
Dr O’Sullivan specialises in the investigation of complex epilepsy and also has a strong interest in psychogenic disorders. Her acclaimed first book, It’s All in Your Head, won both the Wellcome Book Prize and the Royal Society of Biology Book Prize and The Sleeping Beauties was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize. Her most recent work, The Age of Diagnosis (2025), is a bestselling exploration of modern medicine and identity.
