Career[edit]

Dr Lyman is a medical doctor and research fellow at the University of Oxford.[1][2]

Books[edit]

His first book, The Remarkable Life of the Skin is described by his publisher (Transworld, Penguin Random House) as ‘the first popular science book to explore our most overlooked organ in all its physical, psychological and social glory’.[3] It was published in July 2019. The book was a Sunday Times ‘Must Read’,[4] one of their ‘Best Books of 2019’,[5] and chosen as a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.[6]

Lyman's second book, The Painful Truth, was published in July 2021 and quickly became a Top 10 bestseller of all books sold on Amazon.[7]

While the Wellcome Book Prize paused in 2019, The Remarkable Life of the Skin won the public vote in the unofficial but Wellcome-endorsed #NotTheWellcomePrize.[10]

Lyman’s essay based on The Painful Truth won the 2020 Royal Society of Medicine's Pain Medicine prize.[11]
