  • Science SCOTLAND Issue 18 Spring 2016
    science SCOTLAND Issue 18 Spring 2016 FOCUS ON THE RSE YOUNG ACADEMY OF SCOTLAND www.sciencescotland.org Fo rewo rd Young talent in eve ry direction PROFESSOR PETER HOLMES The Royal Society of Edinburgh launched the Young Academy of Scotland (YAS) in November 2011, to bring together the country's most dynamic young leaders. It is the only Young Academy in the UK, and is based on a model developed by the national academies in Germany and Holland. Although it has become part of a growing international movement, the YAS is also unique because it is the only institution of its kind which brings together young professionals from across the whole spectrum of business, the humanities and science, as well as representatives from government and civil society. Today, there are about 150 members (each serving five years), selected on the basis of their outstanding achievements both in their chosen discipline and across disciplines. The YAS also fosters interdisciplinary activities and provides a platform for innovative entrepreneurs, professionals and academics to develop a coherent and influential voice, and to address the most challenging issues facing society in Scotland and beyond. It provides a means of reaching beyond the professional environments in which members work, and allows them to contribute to policy and practice in a wide range of areas. Current themes include: the arts, humanities and society; healthy living; public understanding of science; excellence in education; and computing in schools. In this edition of Science Scotland , the strengths of the YAS are illustrated by the wide range of examples of multidisciplinary approaches and collaboration by YAS members – the innovative use of new technologies, and the enterprising approach of researchers, in everything from medicine and psychology to education, history, the media and cultural identity, particle physics and astrobiology.

  • An Exhibition Celebrating Some of Scotland's Finest Female Scientists
    An exhibition celebrating some of Scotland’s finest female scientists www.rse.org.uk All photographs © Ian Georgeson Photography The Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland’s National Academy, is Scottish Charity No. SC000470 32 33 As Scotland’s National Academy, the Royal Society of Edinburgh is proud to number amongst its Fellowship some of the most talented leaders, thinkers and practitioners working in Scotland today. In this exhibition, we have chosen to focus on and celebrate some of the exceptional women scientists within the Fellowship. Leaders and pioneers in their fields, they are at the vanguard of new ideas, new knowledge and new technologies which are shaping our understanding of the world, supporting a more sustainable use of resources and securing advances in healthcare. Some are from Scotland, others have chosen to base their research and make their homes here; all of them are making a positive contribution to society. When we approached the women to be part of this exhibition, we asked them Seven of the women featured why they chose to become scientists. The responses were varied and enlightening: for some it was always their dream or passion or they had been encouraged were or are members of the and inspired by family, friends and colleagues. For others, the desire to become RSE Young Academy of scientists came later whilst studying at university and realising that, not only did Scotland. they enjoy and were good at science, but it was also a realistic career choice. And what a career choice! Throughout the exhibition, we gain a sense of what these women love about their lives in science: the joy in discovering and learning new things; the satisfaction that comes from working in teams and collaborating with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines; the pleasure in supporting and nurturing talent; and the fulfilment that comes from doing something which is They are: making a difference to people’s lives and the way in which we live.
