Look me up

Ladies and Gentlemen,

May I present my latest project: a new homepage to showcase my skills and experience. Very important for the active job seeker.

I'm still working on the colour scheme and layout, but I'm quite pleased with the result so far, especially considering my fairly basic html skills.

I'd welcome any suggestions and feedback :)

Food for thought (and some very cute rabbit pictures)

I know I haven't posted anything at the moment - thanks to writing on my dissertation, which takes up a lot of my time. And now that I will start an internship at Neurocentrx next week there will be even less opportunities to use this blog.

Darwin has all the time in the world - he spends it reading the news

So I'll use this opportunity to share something with you: yet another recipe. Don't leave, this one is really worth trying. And completely guilt-free (I'm on a diet).

Join the Ch@tter

For the past few weeks, I have been involved in a really innovative news project - namely, The Ch@tter - and am proud to say that we are now online and live - check it out here.

Also, please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

And we are always looking for contributors, so please get in touch if you want to have your say.

Stirling Minds: Jock Scott (Entrepreneurial Focus)

This article was published in the 2014 edition of Stirling Minds, the Alumni magazine of the University of Stirling.

Jock Scott

BA Philosophy 1982
Mediator, Abune


"After 25 years in human resources, I wanted to use this experience to do something different.

I’m a bit of a change junkie and like the challenge of developing and maintaining relationships in the most difficult of circumstances.

I’m used to dealing with difficult organisational problems and understand the enormous pressures they put on both management and the individuals involved. And I have been involved in countless disputes.

So I trained as mediator.

The science event to go to: Cereals in Practice

As part of my current job at the lovely James Hutton Institute, a first class research centre where science involves tackling some of the world’s most challenging problems including the impact of climate change and threats to food and water security, I helped out at the Cereals in Practice event yesterday. It was held on a farm somewhere halfway between Dundee and Perth.
