Congratulations to former LMS President Professor Sir John Ball, who has been elected as President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Sir John succeeds Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who commented:
“I am delighted to hand over to Professor Sir John Ball as the new President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. During my Presidency, I set out RSE’s desire to play an even greater role in the wellbeing of Scotland and all its people. Returning to RSE as interim President in May, I have been very pleased to see the progress that has been made over recent years through initiatives such as the Women in Science exhibition and, most recently the Post-Covid-19 Futures Commission. I look forward to seeing RSE’s continued development and evolution under Sir John’s Presidency”.
