Photo: Rory MacKinnon, SAMS ABOUT US The Scottish Association for Marine Science is a Learned Society with ca 450 members who share an interest in marine science. The Association is governed by a non- executive Council elected by SAMS members at the Annual General Meeting in early November. SAMS is both a charity (009206) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (SC009292) registered in Scotland. SAMS’ mission is to work towards improving the knowledge about and the sustainable stewardship of the marine environment through research, education, knowledge exchange and services to business. The organisation maintains two strategic partnerships: it is a partner of the new University of the Highlands and Islands and of the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council. It is also part of two Scottish pooling initiatives, in marine science and geoscience. SAMS operates the Scottish Marine Institute where 150 employees conduct research and provide education and services in marine science. Six departments deliver the mission: There are four science departments (Biogeochemistry and Earth Sciences; Ecology; Microbial and Molecular Biology; Physics, Sea Ice and Technology), an education and an infrastructure department. Much of SAMS’ research is conducted within four research themes: Dynamic Oceans; Marine Renewable Energy; Arctic Seas; and People and the Sea. Education delivers a BSc (Hons) Marine Science, BSc (Hons) Marine Science with Arctic Studies, trains ca 30 postgraduate research students and provides a range of short courses for professionals. Masters programmes are under development. The new Sheina Marshall building, dedicated to education, also acts as a field station for visiting university or special interest groups. To deliver services to business SAMS operates a wholly owned commercial subsidiary called SAMS Research Services Limited (SC224404). SAMS also operates a business incubator known as the European Centre for Marine Biotechnology (SC205318) that currently hosts two tenant companies.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • 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 28 29 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 fi elds, 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 health care. 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 and were or are members of the inspired by family, friends and colleagues. For others, the desire to become a RSE Young Academy of scientist 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 life 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 fulfi lment that comes from doing something which is They are: making a diff erence to people’s lives and the way in which they live.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • GSF Monumental Activities Pack
    Glasgow Science Festival Monumental Women in Science Scotland has a rich history as a powerhouse of science and innovation, from the Scottish Enlightenment to the present day. Scots like James Watt and Joseph Black were pioneers whose contributions pushed us into the modern world. But where are the women and what are their stories? Launched in June 2017, Glasgow Science Festival’s project ‘Monumental’ invited the public and local organisations to help uncover these hidden gems and explore forgotten female Scottish scientists. Who are they? What was their field? What was their contribution? Where did they live? This resulted in our Monumental Gallery, featuring the stories of 30 women in STEM from across the country. You can view the online gallery on the GSF website, Science on the Sofa – Exhibitions This activity pack shares the story of four of our Monumental women, each with a fun activity linked to their work which you can do at home. Monumental was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. www.glasgowsciencefestival.org.uk | www.facebook.com/glasgowsciencefestial Instagram:GlaSciFest | Twitter:@GlasgowSciFest #GlaSciFest Sheina Marshall – The Sea Slime Scientist Sheina Marshall was born in Rothesay in 1896. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1919 with a BSc in zoology, botany and physiology, before working at the Marine Biological Station at Millport where she would stay for the rest of her life. Early in her career Marshall began investigating marine food chains, publishing a book with chemist Andrew Picken Orr “Biology of a Marine Copepod”, before becoming one of the first women Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
