I was in Russia
this week in order to accept my nomination into the Russian Academy of Sciences (you can translate this website to English using the translate tab at the top of the page) . It is very nice to be recognised for my contributions to science and
it makes one think about how well we in BGS recognise the contributions of our
staff. Simple things like medals and certificates, like the ones I received in
Russia mean a lot, even if they may seem unnecessary.

In BGS we recognise
our staff when they leave with their valedictory letters; we also acknowledge 25
years service with a small gift. Of course we have a bonus system, which does
not provide enough, but it is a financial remuneration. However, I believe we
should be celebrating our success more in recognising staff in winning grants,
writing up their results and also those underpinning the science in
administration, laboratories and services.
The soon to be
launched internal communication portal is a good first
step. If you have any feedback and ideas, please feel free to provide feedback
to me or to the communications team at BGSCorporateComms@bgs.ac.uk
