More Met Office gongs

Thanks to Greensand for alerting us to a new set of awards for Met Office staff, including our very own Richard Betts:

The new Science Fellows and their areas of expertise are:

• Mike Bell: Ocean Processes
• Richard Betts: Climate Impacts
• Dave Matthews: Computational Science and Modelling Infrastructure
• David Jackson: Space Weather and Stratospheric Dynamics

Julia Slingo, Chief Scientist, said 'I am delighted to make these appointments, which exemplify the excellence of our science, modelling and prediction activities across weather and climate. Along with the Deputy Directors and Strategic Heads, our Science Fellows play a critical role in the senior leadership of our Science Programme, and this leadership helps us to maintain our global standing in weather and climate science and services'.

'Unfortunate choice of mockery there. Julia is indeed a widow - her husband Tony died just over 5 years ago'

Only just spotted this. My comment was, in the circumstances, inappropriate. Perhaps the good bishop could remove it?
