Dear Colleagues At 3pm today, Dame Sally Davies and the VC will be visiting YNiC. They will arrive just before 3pm and leave at 3.35pm Professor Dame Sally Davies, is the Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department of Health and the NHS. In her role as Director General, Professor Dame Sally Davies, has developed the strategy for health and social care research and is now responsible for the National Institute of Health Research. She is also a board member of the Office of the Coordination of Health Research (OSCHR), and chairs the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC). Her own research interests focus on sickle cell disease. If you are free it would be very helpful if you could come along to YNiC and be available to talk about the relationship of your work to clinical conditions. If you are running an experiment I would be grateful if you would be willing to explain to the visitors what you are doing. Later, Professor Davies will be giving the Vice-Chancellor's Lecture https://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/public-lectures/autumn-term-2… Thanks Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 PA (Claire Fox) +44 (0) 1904 435329 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004
