Congratulations to Carol MacKintosh, who has been promoted to Reader in Biochemistry within the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee. In turn, Carol thanks and congratulates her graduate students and postdocs for their hard work, imagination and skill in pursuit of their quest to understand how 14-3-3s regulate nutrient signalling and metabolism.
But Carol reads more than Science. "In the evening it's my son Ewan's turn to read to me - his Primary 1 homework about the wild adventures of Biff, Chip and Floppy the Dog - made more exciting by the challenge of fending off his wee sister Ailsa who reckons that "School books are wasted on Reading - they're for Grabbing and Eating!".
