Yesterday, a colleague alerted me that I had been "quoted" extensively in an article on how to get a "beach body". I was surprised and dismayed as I only have two tips for getting a beach body: 1) have a body 2) wear SPF

@jeanmadams.bsky.social is a woman whose brilliance still awes me, but whose honesty, empathy & friendship has helped get me through some really tough times and helped me figure out the sort of leader I want to be. As her mum inspired her, Jean inspires and supports countless other women in science

We need more women like Sue Ozanne in senior leadership positions within the University. Her science is exceptional, but so is her commitment to building a positive research culture where people can both enjoy their work and deliver world-leading research.

Despite working in the same unit, I only really got to know Lou when we were both sleep deprived mums on Mat leav. Her frankness and humour on our caffeine-fuelled pram walks helped keep me sane. Seeing her balance motherhood with taking on the role of Co-Director of GDAR has been awe-inspiring. 🤩

I was very lucky to have @amyahern.bsky.social as my PhD supervisor! Undoubtedly one of the most talented and compassionate people I could have worked if. I'm sure the humour came in very handy when having to put up with me as a student...

Great to hear @cararuggiero.bsky.social discussing her “why?” and the importance of finding your people in research. We’re very glad we found Cara/she found us and brought her passion and skills to our team. Excited about her developing new ideas in food insecurity and infant feeding.
