"JK Rowling has received an honorary degree from the University of Aberdeen. The best-selling author was awarded the degree in recognition of her support for multiple sclerosis research. Rowling&amp;#039;s mother died from the disease in 1990, and since then she has helped to fund the university&amp;#039;s research program. Speaking of the degree she said: &amp;quot;I am thrilled, it is very exciting. I am particularly pleased to support the work that the University&amp;#039;s Institute of Medical Sciences is doing on MS research.&amp;quot; It is the author&amp;#039;s fourth honorary degree from a Scottish University, having been recognized by St Andrew&amp;#039;s, Edinburgh and Napier previously.
