Not leading a lab, but leading a social science research unit @IOE_SSRU, and this all makes sense to me.

I get such a buzz from supporting people just like @RuthS3 who go on to achieve stuff way beyond my reach. I’ve not stopped learning from @RuthS3 since we first met. #ThisWomanRocks

She is nuturing, supportive, tireless and committed, and she is as sharp as a razor. @profsandyoliver was my PhD supervisor and remains my colleague and mentor. Her contribution to the generation and use of evidence for public policy cannot be overestimated #ThisWomanRocks

It was Ann Oakley who founded @IOE_SSRU, has challenged academia’s conventional boundaries for decades, and attracted a whole host of women (and men) eager to do the same. #ThisWomanRocks
