Book Launch Celebration
The launch of Doctor Dopamine: The Extraordinary Life and Science of Dr. Harry Robertson is a public event, hosted by Dalhousie University. This compelling new book, by journalist Jon Tattrie, tells the remarkable story of Dr. Harry Robertson - a Dalhousie University scientist and a founding member of the Brain Repair Cente - whose groundbreaking Parkinson’s disease research helped transform our understanding of the disease and improve opportunities for earlier diagnosis.
What does it mean to spend a lifetime studying a disease, only to be diagnosed with it yourself? Through candid conversations and personal reflection, this book traces Robertson’s journey from pioneering researcher to patient, offering a moving portrait of discovery, resilience, and a lifelong commitment to advancing knowledge.
