Great Scot!

Professor Dame Sue Black


Listen Later

As one of the world’s leading anatomists and forensic anthropologists, Professor Dame Sue Black has spent much of her working life dealing with death and its aftermath - in war zones, in the wake of natural disasters and in murder cases. I was curious to know how it’s possible to be immersed in that world – one which many of us don’t like to think about, much less make our life’s work – and be as well-balanced, cheery and positive as Sue clearly is. Could we all learn something from Sue Black’s approach to life – and death? And how much is that straightforward attitude of hers a result of her early upbringing in rural Scotland. You’ll have to listen to find out….
