The Government Office for Science has announced that Professor Alan Carr, former Head of Innuendos and Early Evening Light Entertainment at GlaxoSmithKline, will be taking over as the the Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser.
‘This is a very exciting time for me,’ said Carr. ‘My first priority in the role will be to get ‘alanatomy‘ accepted by the UK scientific community as a legitimate research discipline. Which it is, of course. After that I’ll move on to less important things like climate change and stuff.’
Any relation to Dr Patrick Vallance, the prime time talk show host, is, of course, entirely coincidental.
