Great to meet with the Association of British Science Writers last night and speak to them about my role and current priorities. Thanks for having me ABSW Pallab Ghosh!

Dame Angela McLean Professor Dame Angela McLean is the first female UK Government Chief Scientific Advisor though the role is 60 years old. She wore a tin hat invented by the first GCSA, Solly Zuckerman at last night's ABSW event at the Science Museum, chatting with Pallab Ghosh. Great event!

A brilliant evening at Science Museum where the ABSW hosted the Professor Dame Angela McLean for a conversation with Pallab Ghosh. Professor Dame Angela McLean also let us try on a Zuckerman helmet - a steel hat designed in mid 1940s by the very first CSA.
