Maggie Aderin
WOOA for science Communication 2006
"It came as a great shock, but in a really pleasant way. It’s always wonderful
to have ones work recognised and get a pat on the back”
Joanna Kennedy
WOOA for Leadership and Inspiration to others, 2008
"I was very honoured as a chartered engineer to receive this accolade. I hope
it will encourage other women to join our exciting profession with excellent career
opportunities."
Averil MacDonald
WOOA For Science Communication 2007
"The WOOA was nothing short of a life changing experience for me. It gave me
the confidence to persuade my university that Science Communication should
be an integral part of its remit, and not a sideline. It made me realise
that my achievements really were significant and gave me the self-belief to
put myself forward for promotion to a personal Chair. This award has
resulted in the creation of a totally unique position within the university
- Chair of Science Communication with particular responsibility for
supporting and advancing women in science."
