Lord Soulsby of Swaffham Prior, 23 June 1926–8 May 2017

Ernest Jackson Lawson Soulsby, better known as Baron Soulsby of Swaffham Prior, led an extraordinarily varied life. He was brought up on a farm in Westmoreland (which is still farmed by the family) and then trained as a veterinarian at Royal (Dick) Veterinary College, Edinburgh, Scotland. From the beginning his interest focused on parasitology with his first publication appearing in 1954.¹ His first research base was Bristol, then Cambridge followed by Pennsylvania, from where he travelled widely earning the irreverent title of 'the Pan Am Professor of Parasitology'!
