Dear Martha,
Hello, the Association of Medical Research Charities in the UK is about
to launch a 'women in science' section on our website, the introductory
page starts with a quote from our Chairman Dame Bridget Ogilvie - an
influential and accomplished scientist.
The pages won't have approval to go live for a couple of weeks yet but
you are welcome to use the following quote if it is of help to you.
''I have had more that four decades happily engaged in science, and what
a wonderful interesting, absorbing, if demanding career it is.''
In the long- term we are planning to gather profiles of women
scientists, working in medical research, to add to the pages so this may
find this a useful resource for future workshops (won't be ready for a
few months yet).
I hope your workshop goes well, it sounds like a fun project to be
involved in!
Kind regards
Hazel Morris

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Inspirational quotes from/for women in science
Hello All,
I am running a workshop for inner city middle school (11-14yrs) girls in
the US, designed to get them interested in science and technology. I'd
like to start with an inspirational quote, ideally from a woman
scientist, to get them engaged, but haven't found anything quite right.
They're of very differing experiences, all young American women, and the
workshop is on microbes and diseases.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful!
Thanks,
Martha
