Fueling science. John Browne, an oil magnate with an interest in research, will be the next president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

Now group chief executive of British Petroleum, Browne oversaw the merger of BP and Amoco in 1998 and has drawn attention to climate-change risks. Last year, he wrote that "global warming is real and … we should start taking the small steps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions today." (BP says it cut greenhouse gas emissions by 10% between 1998 and 2001.) Browne, 57, who has an undergraduate degree in physics and a master's degree in business, will take the helm of the 174-year-old association next September, succeeding Frances Cairncross.
