New Year Honours List

Dec 31, 2008 09:27


Unlike the rest of my friends list, I'm not (primarily) going to be posting about Terry's knighthood (although that is nonetheless very good news).

Instead, I'm posting about Wendy Hall, my former PhD supervisor, who has been made a Dame in the New Years Honours list.

Jolly good news, and much deserved.

I'm clearly moving up in the world... I read through the PDF today to see if there was anybody I knew, and there was. Even if it was just Wendy again.

She sounds very cool. Not just for what she does/what she's done, but for seriously smashing that whole "eeew, women and computers" thing.
