The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the appointment of Professor Stephen Logan as the new chair of the board of the Aberdeen Science Centre, which was the first of the public science centres in Scotland’s cities when it opened in 1988; recognises that Stephen, who was the former senior vice-principal of the University of Aberdeen University and chair of NHS Grampian, also serves as a director of Opportunity North East (ONE), where he chairs the Life Sciences board; understands that he will oversee the Science Centre through the final stages of its £4.7 million redevelopment and expansion, which will increase exhibition space and corporate capabilities at its Constitution Street site before it reopens later in 2020; acknowledges his continued commitment to STEM subjects in Aberdeen, and congratulates Stephen on his new role at the Aberdeen Science Centre.
