He also served as dean of the Faculty of Medicine of London University from 1964 to 1968, and then vice-chancellor of the University from 1969 to 1972. Sir Brian begins the interview by discussing his Australian family background, education at Sydney Church of England Grammar School, and medical studies at the University of Sydney, where he was also a keen sportsman, rowing in the college crew and playing rugby in the university team. Sir Brian then talks of interviewing prospective medical students when he was dean at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, and of how the admission policy did not rely solely on examination results. The interview moves to the period when he was dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of London and the discussions that took place about possible mergers of the medical schools within the University. The interview then returns to his early career and Sir Brian talks of the two-year period as an assistant at the Fondation Curie, Paris, after leaving the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, where he worked in house jobs and as a radium registrar, after qualifying in 1927. He speaks of meeting Marie Curie at the Fondation Curie, and training under the direction of Claudius Regaud, one of the pioneers of radiotherapy. The interview then progresses to Sir Brian's distinguished career in radiotherapy at the Middlesex Hospital. In 1931 he was appointed radium officer at the Middlesex Hospital and he became the medical officer in charge of the Meyerstein Institute of Radiotherapy, which was created in 1936. During the war he was director of the emergency medical service radiotherapy department at Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middlesex, and after the war he became director of the Meyerstein Institute and of the radiotherapy department at Mount Vernon Hospital. He was made the first professor of radiology (therapeutic) at the Middlesex Hospital in 1942. In the interview Sir Brian discusses with Sir Gordon Wolstenholme some aspects of radiotherapy during the early years of its development in the UK. There follows some discussion of radiological protection and mention is made of Sir Brian's chairmanship of the Radiological Protection Board

    Replication Data for 'Endogenous & Dangerous'

    No full text
    This study analyzed the relations of cases that judges cited in their judicial opinions to the cases that lawyers had cited in their persuasive memoranda to the courts in advance of the judicial opinions, considering how frequently and under what circumstances the judges cited cases that the lawyers had not. The findings appear in the journal article "Endogenous and Dangerous," in volume 22 of Nevada Law Journal, forthcoming 2022. This dataset supplements the dataset the author used for a previous article. Replication of the present study would require use both of the previous dataset and this supplementary one. See Brian N. Larson, Precedent as Rational Persuasion, 25 Legal Writing: The Journal of the Legal Writing Institute 135–212 (2021); Larson, Brian, 2020, "Coding guide & replication data for 'Precedent as Rational Persuasion'", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/SXNR02, Texas Data Repository, V1
