Caroline Watt of the Koestler Parapsychology Unit has been promoted to a full professorship, with effect from 1 August 2016.
SPR member Caroline Watt becomes the second Koestler Chair of Parapsychology at the University of Edinburgh. The Chair had been vacant after the death of the first Koestler Professor Robert L Morris in 2004. Caroline's appointment marks a welcome return, and is an indication that the Koestler Parapsychology Unit under Professor Watt's direction has continued to conduct an energetic programme of teaching and research. The promotion should ensure that the Chair acts as a flagship for parapsychology in future, as it did under Professor Morris.
