A seriously good candidate would be Graeme Reid.
Sorry, Professor Dr Graeme Reid.

Not only a Scotsman but, some say, single handedly responsible for staving off massive cuts to the UK’s science budget during the early days of the coalition government. And now liberated from the shackles of government.
Doubtless you have seen recent reports in the Financial Times, and probably other places, of academics and researchers north of the border fearing the worst if there is a Yes vote. These may also name people who are willing to put their heads above the parapet.

Iain,
Apology accepted! And you are indeed correct. This would only go ahead or otherwise depending on what happens in a couple of weeks’ time. Even so there is perhaps a debate to be had on the impact on UK in the event of a ‘No’ vote, but Scotland asks for greater independence – Devo Max and all that. Perhaps I should have said what independence ‘means’ rather than ‘would mean’.

On re-reading, I realise that this is a provisional event, presumably only to be held in the event of a "Yes" vote on the 18th. I apologise for my snark.

October? Odd timing.

Dear colleagues,
Pre-emptively I am looking for someone – could be a scientist or academic, but preferably someone working in a policy/public affairs/government relations field – who would be able to speak at an event in London in October on what the impact of Scottish independence would mean for UK science. I can’t promise an appearance fee but I can promise a free drink or two and some lively chat! If anyone knows of anyone who might fit the bill please do get in touch.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers
