今天我們要認(rèn)識(shí)以為響當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)娜宋铩材匪?帕金森。大家對(duì)他的姓一定不陌生,是的,震顫性麻痹,即帕金森綜合癥是他的招牌研究項(xiàng)目。此人早期經(jīng)歷很瘋狂,也很少有人知道他對(duì)地理地質(zhì)學(xué)也有研究~~~

Parkinson was hauled before the Privy Council for questioning and came within an ace of being dispatched in irons to Australia before the charges against him were quietly dropped.

再就是詹姆斯?帕金森博士,他還是早期的社會(huì)主義者,寫過許多富有鼓動(dòng)性的小冊(cè)子,比如《不流血的革命》。1794年,發(fā)生了一次聽上去有點(diǎn)兒發(fā)瘋的陰謀,叫做"玩具氣槍計(jì)劃",有人打算趁國(guó)王喬治三世在劇院包廂里看戲的機(jī)會(huì)用帶毒的飛鏢射中他的脖子。帕金森跟這件事有牽連,被帶到樞密院進(jìn)行盤問,差一點(diǎn)給戴上鐐銬發(fā)配到澳大利亞。但是,對(duì)他的指控后來不了了之。他漸漸對(duì)生活采取比較保守的態(tài)度,并開始對(duì)地質(zhì)學(xué)產(chǎn)生了興趣,最終成為地質(zhì)學(xué)會(huì)的創(chuàng)始人之一和一部重要的地質(zhì)學(xué)作品《上個(gè)世界的有機(jī)遺骸》的作者。有半個(gè)世紀(jì)時(shí)間,這本書不停地印刷。他再也沒有制造過麻煩。然而,今天我們所以記得他,是因?yàn)樗麑?duì)一種疾病的具有劃時(shí)代意義的研究。這種疾病在當(dāng)時(shí)被稱之為"震顫性麻痹",但之后一直被叫做帕金森綜合征。(帕金森在另一個(gè)方面也稍有名氣。1785年,他很可能成了歷史上獨(dú)一無二的人,在一次兌獎(jiǎng)銷售活動(dòng)中贏得一個(gè)自然史博物館。這家博物館位于倫敦的萊斯特廣場(chǎng),原本是阿什頓?利弗建立的,但利弗無節(jié)制地搜集自然寶物,最后搞得傾家蕩產(chǎn)。帕金森將這個(gè)博物館保留到1805年,再也維持不下去,便把收藏品拆賣了。)
