Keynote Speaker
Professor Anne Glover was appointed Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland in 2006. Her role is to further enhance Scotland’s reputation as a science nation.
Anne currently holds a Personal Chair of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Aberdeen, and has honorary positions at the Rowett and Macaulay Institutes. She is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a member of the Natural Environment Research Council, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology.
Through her roles in teaching and speaking at science festivals and to lay audiences, Anne has been keen to try and convey the excitement and relevance of science to non-scientists. She has promoted this activity through her role on the Natural Environment Research Council where she has also been involved in setting strategy, optimising mechanisms for science delivery and scientific training and securing budgets for environmental research in the UK.
Anne has held many editorial responsibilities, served on a wide range of committees and currently serves on the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council/DTI LINK Bioremediation Programme Steering Committee and NERC Environmental Genomics Steering Committee. She is also a Trustee of Cl:aire (Contaminated Land: Applications in Real Environments) which is a charitable trust set up to promote the use of novel technologies to provide cost-effective solutions for contaminated land clean up.
