1/ Take out “is a Scottish economist” and also add a capital D to Distinguished in the first para
2/ Second para should start “Cam is renowned for his research on…”.
3/ There used to be a middle para in the “Early life and education” section that has disappeared that went “In the early 1970, Express Newspapers moved his father’s job to Manchester. Due this move coinciding with Denis Law finishing his football career at Manchester City, Donaldson became a lifelong fan of the club.”
4/ The passage on Calgary should say “Whilst in Calgary, he built a group of health economics researchers and also established – with Luke Vale (University of Aberdeen; now Newcastle) and Miranda Mugford (University of East Anglia) – the Health Economics Methods Group of the Cochrane Collaboration, acting as co-convenors from 1998 to 2008.”
5/ Then, under the section on the creating the Yunus Centre, can it be replaced with “In 2010, he took up the Yunus Chair at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) where he established the Yunus Centre for Social Business & Health. The main contributions of this Centre have been in conceptualising and evidencing the novel thesis that non-health-focused initiatives, such as social enterprise and fair credit, operating in the most deprived communities, could improve health through enhanced social cohesion. This has included working with Nobel Peace Laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus, to establish an international academic network of Yunus Social Business Centres. The research at GCU has attracted substantial funding from the UK’s Research Councils, the Wellcome Trust, the National Institute for Health Research and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity.”
6/ The personal life bit should read as “Donaldson lives near Aberdeen, with his wife and partner (since 1992), Diane, a successful university administrator. They have two children, a grandson and a granddaughter.”
A couple of the changes relate to spelling (1, 2) and missing text from original version (3). The other changes relate to update in career and personal life (4, 5, 6).
