Thomas Hodgkin
(1798-1866)
Thomas Hodgkin was a pathologist. His work led to the naming of Hodgkin's Disease, a type of cancer, after him. That doesn’t seem like a compliment – but it meant that he had showed that it was a different disease from other ones. He also worked to end the suffering of native peoples caused by new European settlements.
