The society’s council has put forward Nurse, a geneticist and Nobel laureate, as its preferred candidate for the role, which would begin after Sir Adrian Smith’s term finishes next year.
One fellow, who wished to remain anonymous, said while Nurse had an excellent record as a scientist, they were concerned he has had far too much power and influence over UK science.
The fellow added that the society needed to have new voices, and be open to different kinds of voices. It's a bad look for the society...
Another fellow said they thought Nurse had done an excellent job the first time around and that the society would be in safe hands if he were re-elected.
