A consistent message for research across health care services...
We need better research so that we can answer the questions that actually matter to patients-otherwise we will continue to "perpetuate our ignorance"

Not leading a lab, but leading a social science research unit @IOE_SSRU, and this all makes sense to me.
After 38 years in academia, 19 years as the Head of a unit (@AnimEcol_UU), I have seen a lot and learnt a few things. Here are some of my reflections and experiences. Agrre or disagree, it is up to you. 1/17

Today @IOE_London @ucl honoured sociology and gender studies legend Ann Oakley, with an honorary degree. Her conception of gender has changed the entire landscape of the field, and inspired so many of us

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
