Dundee University diabetes expert Professor Andrew Morris appointed chief scientist

[Northerner]

A world-renowned Dundee University expert on diabetes is to become chief scientist for Scotland. He will be seconded to the Scottish Government for two days a week, advising ministers and officials on key science issues.

University vice-principal John Connell said: ''This is a very important position that reflects the high regard in which Andrew is held in Scotland and I am sure that he will carry out his duties with distinction. It also brings great credit to Dundee.''

Hope he is well regarded by scientists in fields other than diabetes and medical science eg physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, technology, engineering etc and universities other than Dundee!

Quite a job for anyone, but best wishes to him.
