Description
The Rosalind Franklin Lecture explores and celebrates the contribution of women towards the promotion and advancement of Humanism in Britain and around the world. The inaugural lecture, given by Professor Dame Anne Glover and chaired by Samira Ahmed, shown here, was held on 10 March 2016, and was a sold-out success.
Dame Anne was Professor of Molecular biology and Cell biology at the University of Aberdeen before she was named Vice Principal for External Affairs and Dean for Europe. She then served as the first ever Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland from 2006–2011, and was the first ever Chief Scientific Adviser for the European Commission from 2012–2014. ‘One of the most influential scientists in Europe’, she is a strong defender of evidence-based policies, particularly in relation to GM crops.
