Should scientists working with governments and officials give
opinions or just stick to giving scientific facts? Hardtalk
speaks to the Scottish microbiologist Professor Anne Glover. She
has just left her post as the first chief scientific adviser to
the EU Commission President, and this is her first extensive
broadcast interview since then. Whilst she was still in the post

her role. Was she at loggerheads with the EU Commission?
