She is an expert in scientific regulation[11][12] and comments on the safe, evidence-based development of innovation in life science and related areas, including genetically modified foods.[13][14] She is a member of the Editorial Board of the academic journal Synthetic and Systems Biology.

Tait holds a BSc in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Glasgow and a PhD in land economy studying regulation of pesticide production and use. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the Open University. Tait was appointed CBE for services to social science in 2005.[8]
