Really looking forward to a day with Young Academy of Scotland colleagues in Aberdeen, learning more about ONE biohub, Novabiotics and hearing new ideas for collaboration from YAS colleagues!!

Great to be based at the ONE Tech Hub in Aberdeen for day 2 of the Young Academy of Scotland AGM. Enjoying leading our discussion with Dr Ourania Varsou (She/Her) as we explore grand challenge impact and driving forward new projects across membership.


After two incredible days at the Royal Society of Edinburgh Young Academy of Scotland AGM in #Aberdeen, I’m heading home feeling energised and inspired, confident that YAS is in great hands to make a real impact in Scotland and beyond! 💡✨ Can’t wait to support our new members with their projects! 🚀

Delighted to welcome Elena Whitham MSP MSP to our Paisley campus today! Through the Young Academy of Scotland MSP pairing scheme, Elena is collaborating with Dr Joanne Ingram from our School of Education and Social Sciences to exchange knowledge and learning for evidence-based policymaking.
