Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland
Professor Glover was appointed to her position as Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland in August 2006 where she has been working to further enhance Scotland's reputation as a science nation.
The Scottish Government has an International Development Policy with a particular commitment to Malawi where historical relationships go back to Livingstone's days.
As well as her role in Scottish Government, Anne holds a Personal Chair of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Aberdeen and honorary positions at the Rowett and Macaulay Institutes as well as the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
She is also an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Society of Arts, the American Academy of Microbiology and the Institute of Biology and a member of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
She has a strong commitment to ensuring scientific knowledge is used to the benefit of the community and is keen to convey the excitement and relevance of science to non-scientists which she has been striving to do both as Chief Scientific Advisor and through her role with NERC.
Professor Glover took over from Professor Sir Gordon Conway as Chair of UKCDS on 1 September 2009.
