First look at Piper Whisky Bar's new lounge opening in March - DRAM Scotland
The Piper Whisky Bar in Glasgow's George Square is opening it's new Whisky Lounge in early March after a make-over. Gillian Kirkland, who is celebrating her 10th anniversary of running the bar said, “I turned the pub to a Whisky Bar eight years ago and the malt count currently stands at over 200. It's been a great 10 years, but I wanted to create more space for private functions and our whisky tasting events.

Does science need heroes?
Does science need heroes or does it need to reform? Idolizing heroes can worsen bias, inequality, and competition in science. Yet, it does require good leadership to ignite structural change. This commentary for a Rijksmuseum Boerhaave symposium on prize cultures aims to address this paradox.
